Suddenly, I feel as if I am Organissimo's Senior Sexual Misconduct Correspondent ... Here is yesterday's Washington Post story about the Cleveland Orchestra firing concertmaster William Preucil and its principal trombonist for sexual misconduct and harassment. It was Post reporters Peggy McGlone and Anne Midgette who first reported in August allegations of misconduct by Preucil and others in the classical music world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/cleveland-orchestra-terminates-two-musicians-after-sexual-harassment-charges/2018/10/24/4d213ca6-d7a1-11e8-a10f-b51546b10756_story.html?fbclid=IwAR2IblDP22d3s1RH7jEtZ2N5wl05pATEinSsNXKZ4ivJyU21shBUNyHl8i0&utm_term=.6dc3637e262a And here is today's Detroit Free Press story about a new allegation/lawsuit brought against countertenor David Daniels by a University of Michigan student for alleged sexual assault. This is not the same charge that emerged a few months ago about an incident in Texas. https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2018/10/24/david-daniels-opera-singer-sexual-assault/1752862002/?fbclid=IwAR2ogX7JCFKGvfHyYbY_kVsQ7oM_FljyslHpPhVokvG24Aeg7fNzseUeiLE
