Yes, I've been following this. It's very unfortunate. I think there's more to it than just the 'me-too' stuff. I frankly think they were looking for an out. Anyway, I'm sure this isn't going to be the end of the story by any means. I also think that this whole episode may not end so well for the Concertgebouw. That's just a hunch.

I believe the principal trombone in the Cleveland Symphony is also coming under investigation.
Honestly, I'm not really surprised at all that this coming out in the orchestral world.

Oh boy. I almost wonder if an 'amnesty' should be called, followed by making it clear that such behavior won't be tolerated in the future.
