[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCYO is a very cutthroat and toxic environment, my daughter is in young Artist, she has been there for the past three years. The auditions seems inclusive and make it look like they accept people of all races, but they only pick Asians (really Chinese) to play for their orchestra. It’s terribly one sided, quite obvious, initially jarring and totally unfair in my opinion and I AM Chinese. The student violinist are very competitive and clique and don’t like new people joining. The clique groups are made up of kids who have been in mcyo for the past five years. I don’t want to discourage you from auditioning…but just wanted you to be aware of the MCYO culture.

Are you trying to get everyone not to audition so that your child gets a better chance.

This is so racist that I don't even know how to comment.  I don't really care if you're Chinese.  Chinese people can discriminate against their own kind, believe it or not.

Our DS has been in MCYO for awhile.  One child got in, and the one child did not.  Sure, there are more Asian-Americans, but to me, that is because there appears to be more Asian-Americans in orchestras in this area in general.  MCYO is very competitive.  I would not call it cutthroat but they do not coddle children.  If your kid is the type who will fall in despair to be ranked by chair placement, then most Youth Orchestra in this area is likely not for him/her.

The music is appropriately challenging for each level.  Kids are expected to show up and be ready.  It is a serious commitment.

Please ignore the previous poster's nonsense.[/quote]
