The Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, Wales, said on Wednesday (9) that it will remove works by Russian composer Tchaikovsky from its upcoming concerts due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“In light of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra considers that the program already announced, including the ‘Solemn Opening to the Year 1812’, would be inappropriate at this time,” the group said in a statement.
The orchestra planned a concert with works by Tchaikovsky, only, for the next March 18 at St. David’s Hall.
