WORCESTER, MA - AUGUST 23: From left, Brett Maguire, Jake Street and Sean Redrow pose for a portrait outside the St. Joseph Memorial Chapel at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA on Aug. 23, 2018. The three were among five former students to accuse James David Christie of sexual misconduct. Colleges in Massachusetts and Ohio have abruptly cut ties with the Boston-area concert organist of international acclaim amid allegations of sexual misconduct dating back decades. James David Christie, widely regarded as one of the greatest organists of his generation, has resigned his post as distinguished artist-in-residence at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, the school said Thursday. He has also left Oberlin College and Conservatory, where he was a professor of organ and chair of the organ department. (Photo by Craig F. Walker/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
