Speaker(s): TBD

This session is designed to deepen understanding of sexual misconduct and how the orchestral community can acknowledge and heal from past harm and work to shift systems and culture to prevent future sexual misconduct. Representatives of RAINN Consulting Group will provide subject matter expertise on the victim experience, trauma-informed practices, and elements of a comprehensive approach including discussion of reporting barriers, power dynamics, moral injury and institutional betrayal, and best practices for prevention and response. Additional panelists will add perspective from the context of the orchestra.

This session and The Catalyst Fund is made possible by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation.
