Grammy-nominated conductor Noel Edison has resigned as artistic director of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir after an investigation into sexual-misconduct allegations. Last month the TMC announced it had placed Edison on a personal leave of absence while it investigated the allegations. Dean Artists Management, which represents Edison, said Wednesday that it had “no comment.”The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, conducted by Noel Edison, performs in a pop-p concert during the evening rush hour in Brookfield Place for a pop up concert. Edison was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year for best choral performance with the TMC and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Joly says the new requirement is part of her Liberal government's commitment to confronting sexual harassment in the wake of the worldwide #MeToo and TimesUp movements.
