Recent developments at the New York Philharmonic have highlighted the significant challenges survivors of sexual misconduct face in finding support within our industry. It is important to acknowledge that this is not a new issue; survivors have long struggled to navigate our complex system. The ICSOM Governing Board recognizes the need for a tangible resource to help survivors, bystanders, and colleagues understand our collective responsibility for workplace safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

This edition of Senza Sordino<\/em> contains valuable information for victims, offering guidance on steps to take following misconduct. After enduring such trauma, it can be difficult to know what to do; we hope these suggested instructions can help. Additionally, we’ve provided a list of resources to further aid victims in their healing process, guidance for bystanders who may be confused, frightened, or troubled after witnessing an incident, and advice on supporting a colleague in such circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding how all our workplace entities must work together to ensure a safe environment can be challenging. In that vein, we have an article that delves into the responsibilities of the Union\u2014via the Local and Orchestra Committee\u2014as well as those of our managements, outlining the roles each entity must fulfill once an accusation is made. It is crucial to comprehend the responsibilities of individuals, the union, and management to ensure accusations are addressed promptly and with the seriousness they demand. More information on this topic will be covered at this summer\u2019s conference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this critical information, ICSOM has produced an informational document intended for posting backstage. This document will offer an overview of the information provided here and a link to this edition of Senza Sordino<\/em> so our members can easily access it. While we hope none of our members ever need it, our aim is that this information fosters greater accountability for all members of our orchestras.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we are happy to provide these resources and information to all of you, let\u2019s be clear: this is the least you should expect from ICSOM. All of us, the governing board included, must take steps to ensure real and lasting change in our industry. It\u2019s not enough for women to feel safe in our orchestras; they should <\/span>want<\/span><\/i> to play in them. Fundamentally, this means all members, especially those who identify as male, must step up to end gender-based violence in the workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At this year’s ICSOM conference in Portland, OR, from August 21-24, we intend to take the first steps to disrupt a system that prioritizes performance over accountability and allows sexism, racism, and inequality in our orchestras to go unchallenged. Systemic change will take time and effort, but it is the only way to fundamentally address these issues in our industry. We firmly believe that change is possible and are committed to making it a reality for all our members.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
