VSO says it won’t use confidentiality agreements in cases involving sexual misconduct

January 7, 2026

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has released an open letter to the classical-music community, pledging to never again ask a sexual-misconduct complainant to sign a confidentiality agreement.

The VSO also said it does not intend to take legal action against its former violinist, Esther Hwang, who last month told The Globe and Mail that the organization had put pressure on her to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to settle a sexual-assault complaint that she had made in 2019 against a man who was then a senior member of the orchestra.
