Turnbull To Stay On At Harlem

The New York City Department of Education has reached an agreement with Harlem Boys’ Choir founder Walter J. Turnbull, under which Turnbull will be allowed to continue as artistic director with the ensemble, despite charges that he covered up an incident of child molestation by an employee. Turnbull will resign as the choir’s chief executive, but his presence at the helm of the choir’s artistic operations “was deemed essential for the survival of the world-renowned singing group.”
