A statement from the orchestra announcing the suspension did not specify the nature of the claims against La Rosa. Immediately after the publication of the Post article, the Cleveland Orchestra’s board set up a committee to oversee the investigative process. “We are committed to conducting a thorough and extensive review to make sure The Cleveland Orchestra is able to provide a safe, professional work environment,” David J. Hooker, one of the committee members, said in the statement.
