Eli5…what exactly is a qualified alternate? If Cincinnati was offering 4 violin positions at this audition (as advertised), why wasn’t the first QA offered a position?
It most likely means even though the two candidates received qualifying votes and were up for discussion, the committee/MD either decided not to, or couldn’t agree on, hiring the fourth.
3 people were offered positions:
Lizzie Furuta
Joseph Ohkubo
Jonathan Yi
2 were qualified alternates:
Rose Brown
Michael Rau
Congratulations to all!
