Just in: Leila pulls out of the BBC Proms
mainThe Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz has withdrawn from the Proms. She was due to give the UK premiere of Luca Francesconi’s concerto, Duende – The Dark Notes, on August 7.
No reason has been given. Maybe she doesn’t like the piece, which has been written for her.
UPDATE: She’s having a baby around that time, her third. Congratulations.
Sure, she gave no reason, but you’re speculating wildly here on a possible reason, no?
From her website:
“Due to the arrival of Leila’s third son, she unfortunately has to cancel her concerts from August 2014 – November 10, 2014. She will be appearing with the Philadelphia Orchestra the week of November 20th.”
Ten seconds of “research.”
