This April, when the topic of sexual misconduct in our industry once again came to the fore, the ICSOM Governing Board identified that an issue of Senza Sordino could provide our members with information and resources to turn to in the case that they encounter a sexual misconduct situation.

The front-page article “Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence in the Orchestra” written by Member-at-Large Jessica Phillips and her mother, Carol Merchasin—a litigator with extensive experience investigating sexual misconduct—provides many detailed resources for victims and bystanders alike, as does Kevin Case’s overview of the responsibilities of the union.

This issue is unlike any I have published as editor thus far, and I believe it is hard to understate its importance. As such, in a departure from the normal layout, we’ve designed a page of this issue to serve as a poster with links to this issue and to other resources. Please feel free to reproduce that page and post it in your workplace. It is our hope that, by providing this information publicly, we can provide concrete support to those who may need it.
