The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra has suspended the contract of a world-renowned French horn player in response to allegations of sexual harassment.

Eric Ruske is teaches horn at Boston University. He was scheduled to perform as a soloist with the Wyoming Symphony this weekend.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Boston, two former students say Ruske used inappropriate language with them and requested they send pictures to him. The plaintiffs also say Boston University failed to take action to stop Ruske’s harassment.

The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra’s scheduled concerts Saturday and Sunday will now feature Principal Hornist and University of Wyoming faculty member Katherine Smith performing Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3.
