Cardiff Philharmonic removes Tchaikovsky performance over Ukraine conflict
A statement on the venue’s website said: “In light of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, with the agreement of St David’s Hall, feel the previously advertised programme including the 1812 Overture to be inappropriate at this time. The orchestra hope you will continue to support them and enjoy the revised programme.”
The orchestra will instead present a programme centred on Antonín Dvořák’s symphony No 8. It will also include John Williams’ the Cowboys overture and a performance of Edward Elgar’s Enigma variations in the second half.
