We didn’t watch the New Year’s Day concert, but reliable observers counted five.

That’s fewer than recent years and contrary to the orchestra’s recent pledges of gradual reform.

This is an orchestra that has discrimination written into its DNA, into its everyday attitudes.

The reason to be concerned about its Nazi past is that nothing much has changed.
