I’ve had a message on behalf of the conductor Jun Märkl, saying he is making every effort to visit Japan, despite the tour cancellation after a vote by musicians and staff by the National Orchestra of Lyon.

Märkl, who is half-Japanese and is leaving Lyon at the end of the season, is putting together a benefit concert in Tokyo, his agent reports.

Good for him.
