A former VSO violinist faces legal action for breaking a confidentiality agreement after speaking out about 2017 harassment allegations.
A former Vancouver Symphony Orchestra violinist, Esther Hwang, is facing legal threats after speaking publicly about alleged sexual harassment and assault by a fellow musician in 2017, violating a 2019 confidentiality agreement from a settled human rights complaint.
The orchestra’s legal team warned of damages over her disclosures, prompting widespread backlash.
Over 6,000 people have signed a petition demanding the VSO drop the legal action, end its use of confidentiality agreements in misconduct cases, and apologize.
The musicians’ committee has backed Hwang, calling such NDAs unethical.
The orchestra previously offered to remove the accused musician and cover her counseling costs if she withdrew her complaint, without admitting fault.
