The German violinist Christian Tetzlaff has cancewlled a US tour, saying he was unlikely to return unless the Government changed course on Russia-Ukraine.
Tetzlaff, 58, told the NY Times: ‘Have the American people forgotten the pictures and tales of the scores of slain civilians in every town the Russians invaded?’ He added: ‘I feel utter anger. I cannot go on with this feeling inside. I cannot just go and play a tour of beautiful concerts.’
Elsewhere, he issued this statement:
Carnegie Hall said:
Carnegie Hall today announced the Tetzlaff Quartet has regrettably cancelled its US tour, including its upcoming Zankel Hall performance scheduled for Thursday, March 27, as violinist Christian Tetzlaff has recently announced that he will not travel to the United States next month.
Concertgoers who purchased tickets for the performance with a credit card will receive automatic refunds. Those who purchased tickets with cash should return their tickets to the Carnegie Hall Box Office on West 57th Street and Seventh Avenue.
