The US-based French pianist Hélène Grimaud was meant to be the Portrait Artist at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in northern Germany, with 14 concerts on her schedule.

She has just pulled out, it was announced this morning, ‘due to ongoing travel restrictions as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis’.

Seven of her dates have been taken over by the Canadian Jan Lisiecki.

How’s he getting there?
