Which US orchestras will sack their DEI hires?

Which US orchestras will sack their DEI hires?

Now the Federal Government has laid off all of its diversity staff, there will be orchestras up and down the USA who will want to be sacking their vice-presidents in charge of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

So far as we can tell, most of these high-paid officials were hired as lip-service to an inclusivity ideology. None has done much to contribute to the improvement of the orchestral environment.

Orchestral CEOs will be wondering how to release them without risk of backlash.

Watch this space.
