Lara St. John: Exposing sexual abuse in classical music with a new doc
Update: 2025-01-07
Description
The Canadian violinist Lara St. John was a child prodigy who was only two when she started playing her instrument. But her young age also made her extremely vulnerable. When she was 14, Lara was sexually assaulted and raped by her 78-year-old instructor at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. It took more than 35 years for the school to acknowledge the abuse she suffered. Now, Lara is making a documentary to highlight sexual abuse in the classical music world. She sits down with Tom Power to talk about the project and how she’s trying to make classical music safer moving forward.
