Igor Levit cancels Israel

Igor Levit cancels Israel

The German-based pianist has pulled out of Wednesday’s performance of Beethoven’s triple concerto in Tel Aviv.

According to the orchestra, Levit sends his regrets and says he hopes to return soon. The cancellation may be connected to air traffic issues after Lufthansa pulled all flights from Israel this week in fear of an Iranian attack.

Lahav Shani will play the piano part in Wednesday’s concert and conduct from the keyboard.
