\norchestra’s historic exclusion of women (not to mention its racist ideology) is to be discussed that
\nafternoon on Soundcheck<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>, the WNYC New
\nYork Public Radio talk show about music and culture. Invited to air their views about the
\norchestra’s discriminatory practices are two feminists — the composer and scholar William
\nOsborne, a longtime critic<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> of the VPo’s
\nhiring policies, and Abbie Conant<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>, the former
\nprincipal trombonist of the Munich Philharmonic.<\/P>
\n
\nnotes, “where progress has or hasn’t been made, the questions of whether female musicians can or
\ncan’t affect the sound of the orchestra, and where Vienna fits in alongside other European
\norchestras on this issue.”<\/P>
\n
\nJames Oestreich, classical music editor of The New York Times, an apologist for the orchestra in
\nmy view. Soundcheck broadcasts at FM 93.9 on weekdays from 2 to 3 p.m. in the New York
\nregion. Here’s the Souncheck archive<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> of past
\nshows. You can listen to them online. For some background about the issues and Osborne’s
\nInternet activism, go here: “Taking on the Vienna
\nPhilharmonic.”<\/FONT><\/B><\/A><\/P>

\nliterary\/journalist wanderings on Conversations with Harold Hudson
\nChanner<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>. The program airs 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Channel 34 of the
\nTime\/Warner Cable Television Systems in Manhattan and on Channel 107 of the RCN system.
\n“Conversations,” which airs Monday to Friday, is also streamed online during the broadcast at
\nMaybe you can.) Channer’s guest in a repeat show on Wednesday will be Andre Schiffrin, who ran
\nPantheon Books at Random House for 28 years and subsequently co-founded the alternative
\ncommerical publishing house The New Press<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
