Just in: Cleveland Orchestra cancels Israel
OrchestrasThe orchestra, which was due to pay its first visit to the country later this month, has pulled out of the engagement in light of the escalating Gaza war.
All concerts in Israel have been cancelled and 300,000 soldiers have been called up for military service.
There has been no statement yet from Cleveland but Israeli audiences have been informed.
UPDATE: Here’s the Cleveland statement: The Cleveland Orchestra has made the decision to cancel its upcoming tour in Israel. The safety of our musicians and staff is a top priority, and this decision was based on State Department guidelines in consultation with security advisors. The Orchestra will still travel to Austria to perform concerts in Vienna on October 18 and Linz on October 20. Our thoughts are with friends and family in Israel right now, and we hope for their continued safety.
How dare Cleveland assume that they can cancel the great state of Israel just for defending itself? This is racist and unacceptable. Don’t they know anything about the CRIMES committed against their PEOPLE over the course of the 20 century? Musicians should stay in their lane and just sit a play their silly tunes and not interfere in foreign politics. I cancel Cleveland and think everyone should as well. #notacceptable #istandwithukraine. Enough is enough, and nobody can tell me otherwise. I’m so furious it makes me want to puke. Everyone has become so unhinged and crazy, im legitimately scared for our FUTURE. #endthemadness. What does the orchestra think it can do anyway, fire all of its Jewish musicians? This is stupid and racist. Everyone needs to get their act together and recognize a two state solution and not try to act like an oboe or trombone player has any idea what the hell is going on.
I don’t follow your line of thinking. The Cleveland Orchestra pullled out because they didn’t want to get their asses blown off in a legitimate war zone. It has nothing to do with anti-semitism.
Pretty good niche trolling in my opinion.
Are you kidding me? Please re read the article- you seem mid informed.
Did you read the article?
Ummmmm…. Psychopath much?
Don’t be daft. The situation is dangerous even for Israeli residents right now. You saw the word “cancel” and immediately jumped to getting outraged about first world problems. There are hardly any flights going to Israel now other than to evacuate people. Think of the families in Israel who worry that their kids might not survive till next week or that they might be homeless because their home had been bombed. Their food and medicine supplies are in danger of running out. Many foreigners are being kidnapped or killed. Seriously, have you been living under a rock for the last 7 days??
I’m sorry I meant to say #istandwithisrael. I do stand with ukraine also.
A better headline would be “Cleveland Orchestra Cancels Israel Tour” for those prone to ridiculous misinterpretation of intent.
Cancel culture is really getting out of hand these days…
1812 Ouverture with live explosions would have been a beautiful choice; afterall, music is a universal language.
Lac of creativity ok the administration part. despicable.
Po Chergei also has been living under a rock for the last 7 days. Or can’t read English properly. Read my reply to “Supermusiclover”.
As it happens from time to time, Tel- Aviv is under fire and no public gatherings are allowed. That’s ok. Not in the mood for music right now. Fighting for our lives.
Awful, horrific situation right now. Still can’t believe the senseless killing going on- senseless because it will not end well. Like the Cleveland Orchestra members and leadership, my thoughts are with the bereaved,
the orphaned and the wounded. I hope those who need to get home will get out safely. For all innocent people in the country of all faiths and races who just want to live in peace, I hope they stay safe and that this carnage ends as soon as possible.
