Audition Results

CONFIDENTIALITY BREACH - PLEASE READ & SHARE

Despite a clear confidentiality violation during the recent TSO section violin auditions, the finals on June 14 are moving forward. The TMA (Local 149) initially requested the finals be canceled due to the breach. However, TSO management intervened, and the process continues - compromised.

Unfortunately, issues like this can occur behind the scenes in any audition - but if a breach is blatantly exposed and deemed serious enough for the union to call for cancellation, allowing it to proceed undermines the integrity of this audition and potentially sets a troubling precedent. 

This raises serious concerns:

• Why is the audition proceeding despite the union’s initial recommendation to cancel?

• Does the TSO’s solution - replacing one committee member and assigning new numbers - truly contain the breach?

• What’s to stop the candidate from further leaking [or already having leaked] information to remaining committee members?
