We counted them:

2 in Chicago (including principal Cynthia Yeh)

1 in Philadelphia

1 each in Hawaii and Rochester.

This looks like a closed shop.

We also hear that the number of young women inducted into the New World Symphony has been falling year by year. The orchestra does not use a screen for auditions.
