Two high school choruses will reportedly not perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra this year because their groups are not racially-diverse enough.
WSBTV.com reports that the Walton and Lassiter High School choruses in Cobb County will not get a chance to perform with Atlanta’s professional this fall as a result of the determination.
"This year, the schools were informed by symphony officials that their choruses are not diverse enough, and that the symphony would be inviting a third, more diverse chorus," Cobb County Schools spokesman Jay Dillon told the website.
Local residents told the website the decision reeked of discrimination.
"I think it's sad," said Marietta resident Shar Nicholson. "I think if they have the talent and the desire they should be given the opportunity."
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra President Stanley Romanstein said the stages of the performing group should “reflect the diversity” of Atlanta, but not everyone in Cobb County agrees.
"It's not necessarily fair to the students at all," said Vashon Ramsey. "They should be allowed to perform regardless."
