Recording this great duo today by @jmontgomerymusc with @GabeLefkowitz exclusively for @LouOrch online subscribers.

I always thought this man - who in this 2014 photo shoot, claimed to be from the future and had no shadow and kept telling me one day we would all dress like him - seemed a little odd.

"There are very few hiring processes where elements of bias based on race, gender, friendship and family really can be accounted for and eliminated — but this is one of them," writes @finchman

Should orchestras end blind auditions?

@LouOrch principal cellist @finchman responds to @TommasiniNYT @nytimesmusic’s article that we should take them down, in favor keeping them up, in @SpectatorUSA @spectator

[Nick Finch @finchman]

My first article for @SpectatorUSA - "Don't end blind auditions", in response to @nytimes Op-Ed by @TommasiniNYT saying we tear down the screen for reasons of 'diversity'

[The Spectator 🇺🇸 @TheSpectator]

"Nothing helped increase diversity in classical music more quickly and effectively than blind auditions. Let’s build on that success, instead of tearing it down," writes @finchman

Seen in #Louisville on the corner of Story Avenue and Frankfort Avenue. Driver crashed, wrapped the car around a tree, but the driver and the passenger are apparently unscathed. Unbelievable. Stay safe everyone.

[Nick Finch @finchman]

It's happening.

Next week, see me as the the Man from La Mancha in Strauss's "Don Quixote", Friday morning and Saturday night, with Louisville Orchestraat the The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts https://t.co/To7Y64lHgU

[Nick Finch @finchman]

Excited to be a featured guest at @BallState, giving a master class to the talented students of Peter Opie with a concert to follow

[LouOrch Musicians @LOMusicians]

Not to be missed - @LouOrch performs a fantastic work with @PercussionColl, performing Neustader's "Seaborne" with video projection. A compelling group not to be missed this weekend. @teddyconducts

[LouOrch Musicians @LOMusicians]

For the next three nights come see @LouOrch concertmaster @GabeLefkowitz give an outstanding performance of #Stravinsky's violin concerto w @teddyconducts along with #Mozart Symphony no 40!

[Nick Finch @finchman]

Incredibly grateful to @LouOrch for having me perform #Strauss's "Don Quixote" as cello soloist, and to make my professional #conducting debut on one of their family concerts this coming season.

[Nick Finch @finchman]

I've finally made it. You can listen to me on @Spotify playing #AmyBeach with @PhoenixSymphony concertmaster Steven Moeckel and @IUSoutheast's Joanna Goldstein.
