NYPhil oboist loses teaching post
OrchestrasThe Manhattan School of Music this morning quietly placed Liang Wang on leave, updating its website.
Wang has been suspended as principal oboe of the New York Philharmonic while an investigation is conducted into historic allegations of involvement in rape.
He remains on the faculties of Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. His lawyer has told the New York Times that the ‘only person accused of misconduct in connection with that matter’ is Wang’s friend, the associate principal trumpet Matthew Muckey. Muckey’s lawyer said: ‘our client was cleared of any wrongdoing.’
