Valentina Lisitsa is ‘replaced’ by US orchestra
NewsThe Pasadena Symphony put out this statement last night:
‘The Pasadena Symphony has replaced pianist Valentina Lisitsa with internationally renowned pianist Ran Dank for the orchestra’s performance the evening of April 30, 2022.’
Internal messaging reveals that the orchestra was unaware of Lisitsa’s citizenships of Russia and the illegal Dombass breakaway state and hired her based on false information from her manager, who claimed that she held only Ukrainian and US passports, and that since 2015 she was engaged only in music and had not made any political statements.
