School to take disciplinary action against composer Robert Beaser for alleged \u201cdecades-long abuse of women and power\u201d has attracted the signatures of about 450 composers, musicians, educators and arts leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css

teaching post as the school launched a third-party inquiry into the department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\"

that Bob will step away from his teaching duties and other faculty responsibilities while the investigation is being conducted,\u201d Juilliard Provost Adam Meyer wrote in a letter to composition

class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">last week,<b> <\/b>the Berlin-based classical music website VAN magazine published the results of a six-month investigation into call of misconduct against several Juilliard faculty members, including Beaser, who, the magazine said, \u201cfaces multiple, previously-undisclosed of sexual harassment and misconduct from the late 1990s and 2000s.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">These include alleged \u201crepeated sexual advances to sexual relationships with students,\u201d as well as claims that these relationships directly affected critical decisions Beaser enacted as department chair at Juilliard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The

wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI am more than willing to participate in Juilliard&#8217;s outside investigation in order to protect and defend my reputation,\u201d Beaser wrote Sunday in a statement to The Washington Post.  \u201cUntil the school concludes this process, I have agreed to be on leave from my teaching position.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The VAN story also included accounts of other abuses at the school, including claims from a student alleging uninvited advances by Pulitzer- and Grammy-winning composer and Juilliard professor Christopher Rouse, who died in 2019, as well as against Juilliard professor John Corigliano, a longtime composer and faculty member accused by eight former Juilliard attendees for an alleged \u201cunofficial policy\u201d against taking on female students.  (Corigliano denied the claims in an email to VAN.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The open letter \u2014 hosted on a Medium account attributed to \u201cComposers Collective\u201d \u2014 trained focus on Beaser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cThough we recognize and appreciate the need for due process,\u201d the letter reads, \u201cthe volume of voice testimony, and supporting evidence of Beaser&#8217;s misconduct are undeniably unsettling.  Until the investigation is resolved, Beaser&#8217;s presence in the Juilliard composition department could jeopardize the emotional well-being of students and inhibit a safe and healthy learning environment. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cSexual discrimination and sexual harassment have no place in our school community,\u201d wrote Rosalie Contreras, Juilliard vice president of public affairs, in a statement Saturday.  \u201cWe take all such seriously seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Although the VAN report was unable to confirm whether complaints from two students lodged against Beaser in 2018 ever led to Juilliard officials launching Title IX investigations, Contreras confirmed that internal investigations took place at the school \u201cin the late &#8217;90s as well as in 2017\/ 18\u201d but did not elaborate on their findings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cAllegations that were previously reported to The Juilliard School were handled at the time, based on the information that was provided,\u201d the statement reads.  \u201cHowever, in order to review new information and to better understand these past administration, the school&#8217;s current administration has launched an independent investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Juilliard&#8217;s policy on faculty-student consensual relationships explicitly forbids relationships between faculty and undergraduates, and \u201cdiscourages\u201d them for graduate students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIn addition to creating the potential for coercion, any such relationship jeopardizes the integrity of the education process by creating a conflict of interest and may impair the learning environment for other students.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Students contacted for VAN&#8217;s report characterized Beaser&#8217;s conduct as being well beyond an \u201copen secret,\u201d and paint a picture of the overall climate for women enrolled at the prestigious music school as stubbornly toxic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider, who helped write and post the open letter Friday, is one of an alliance of anonymous female composers confronting the school&#8217;s alleged \u201clong history of tolerating and covering up sexual misconduct and discrimination.\u201d  Snider assembled the coalition in the wake of #MeToo to provide a forum for female composers to discuss their own experiences of abuse and harassment in their profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Snider did not attend Juilliard, nor does she have any professional affiliation with it (in addition to working as a composer, Snider is also co-artistic director of New Amsterdam Records), but believes this distance from the institution \u2014 as well as the reach of its influence over composers&#8217; careers \u2014 is what has given her the liberty \u201cto speak on behalf of my many female colleagues who could not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">She is also quick to point out that the scourge of sexual harassment within composition programs extends far beyond one school;  it&#8217;s embedded deep into the culture of classical music education, she says.  As a student, Snider had her own run-ins with sexual harassment at the hands of a powerful professor (whom she declines to identify) that she says continue to be \u201cpainful and traumatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cThat was the reason I got connected with these women in the first place,\u201d she says.  \u201cI could really sympathize with what they&#8217;d been through and the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness, because it tends not to be about your abuser;  it&#8217;s about the network of men at the top of our field who are friends and who protect each other.  \u2026 If you come forward and name one person, you&#8217;re asking for retribution from basically a cabal of older, successful men who hold the keys to all the opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Following the posting of the open letter, Snider has received notes from men at Juilliard who similarly feel unable to come forward for fear of retribution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cThey are the masters, and they are infallible, and they can make you or break you,\u201d a male conservatory professor of composition who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional retribution wrote to Snider in a text message shown to The Post .  \u201cGatekeeping doesn&#8217;t even cover it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Composer Jefferson Friedman, who attended Juilliard from 1998 to 2001, then taught at the school for several years, left a comment on one of Snider&#8217;s recent Facebook posts in which he recalled feeling \u201cactually afraid of [Beaser]\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cDid I know what Beaser was doing at the time?\u201d  Friedman wrote.  \u201cYes, everyone did.  Do I wish I had spoken up?  In hindsight, of course, yes I do.  But Beaser was the ultimate gatekeeper back then.  \u2026 His entire deal has been creating a fiefdom where he has as much of a power imbalance as possible. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">As of Sunday, several high-profile names from across the classical and new-music fields had signed the open letter, including Missy Mazzoli, Gabriela Lena Frank, Vijay Iyer, Tyondai Braxton, Andrew Norman, Claire Chase and Nico Muhly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Snider encountered particular trepidation from men in the music community, hesitant to sign for fear of retribution.

Additionally, we then need to try to get those abusers to still<i> like us <\/i>enough to write letters of recommendation or to recommend us for prizes.
