John McWhorter and Don Baton – DEI in the Orchestral World
The Glenn Show | Glenn Loury, John McWhorter, Don Baton
Loury, McWhorter and “Baton” (pseudonym) discuss the effects of DEI in the orchestral world. From equating “good” composers with canonical composers to abandoning merit-based assessments (i.e. blind auditions) in favor of race-conscious evaluations, they discuss how the classical music world is changing, and if it’s for the better. “Don” also discusses his new Substack on the subject called The Podium.
