Salzburg provides cover for Putin’s propagandists
OrchestrasThe fiction of Teodor Currentzis’s ‘Utopia’ orchestra has been exposed in Salzburg this week.
At least 40 of its musicians have been drawn from Currentzis’s Musicaeterna, which is funded by Gazprom, an active participant in the Ukraine war. One of the musicians, trombonist Andrei Saltanov, has publicly endorsed a pro-war song.
The Salzburg Festival is knowingly providing cover for this enterprise. It is no longer neutral or apolitical.
Judge for yourselves. Here’s the player list.
