Changing the Tune: Klezmatics Settle A Violinist’s Sex-Discrimination Suit (Correction)
Due to editorial error, a March 28 article, “Changing the Tune: Klezmatics Settle A Violinist’s Sex-Discrimination Suit,” inadvertently represented as fact certain contested assertions made by Alicia Svigals in the legal dispute between the Klezmatics and their former violinist. These assertions, unrefuted in the article, stated the position of one of the parties in the dispute. The matter was resolved in a legal settlement in which neither side admitted any wrongdoing. We regret any misunderstandings that might have arisen.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
