[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.

My DC is white and that has not been our experience at all.  Yes, a large majority of the young musicians are Asian-American, but certainly not all and MCYO doesn't "only pick Asians" to play in the orchestras.  DC's experience has been very positive and MCYO certainly helped him to feel inspired to achieve a high level of performance with his instrument that he would not have gotten elsewhere.[/quote]
