Last night, I made a point of the exclusive maleness of the Moscow
Virtuosi, and somebody from the sponsoring San Francisco Performances
organization put the question to the tour manager. His reply:
"It's tradition. Women cause too many problems."
When you put it that way, there is a certain logic to it. There is never
any problem in men-only organizations, historically. Indeed, are women
ready to play music on a professional level?
But I suspect there is a slight misquote here; the man must have said:
"Is tradition."
