The pro-Putin tweeting pianist has suffered a concert cancellation in Jakarta ‘due to administrative permissions that cannot be secured’.

The causes of the cancellation are not yet clear.

Valentina has posted a message that ‘the authorities threatened to stop the concert with police and even take our documents away. It was decided to run away…’

Like three girlfriends on the go at the same time? A bit too much to handle.

The marathon man is Andriy Viytovych, principal viola of the orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the concertos he will be playing are by Walton, Bartók and Hindemith (Der Schwanendreher). The concert requires two conductors, Barry Wordsworth and Paul Wynne Griffiths.

Proceeds to St Mungo’s Broadway, a charity that helps people recover from homelessness.

It’s on May 25. Tickets here.
