The San Jose Symphony here in California conducts "blind auditions"
where the applicant plays a piece of music behind a screen. The
selection board can't see the person; they can only hear their
performance.=20

The orchestra is under fire for having 'insufficient minority
representation'. Even that extreme doesn't necessarily keep you out of
trouble with the professional victims and their advocates.
