VANCOUVER --
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music has suspended pianist and faculty member John Stetch from accessing school facilities after video surfaced of what appeared to be a social gathering that violates B.C. public health orders.
In the video, which lasts over an hour, and appears to have been live-streamed and recorded Saturday night, Stetch and a dozen other people eat, drink, and socialize.
There is no hint of physical distancing or masks, although at one point the person behind the camera asks Stetch if he has a face mask that matches his shimmering “astronaut pants.”
Stetch responds, “Oh yeah, somewhere, yeah,” before erupting in laughter.
