Igor Levit cancels Israel Phil concert
OrchestrasThe German-based pianist has pulled out of Wednesday’s Israel Philharmonic concert in Tel Aviv. He was due to play the second Brahms concerto.
According to the orchestra, Levit sends his regrets and says he hopes to return soon. The cancellation may be connected to air traffic issues after Lufthansa pulled all flights from Israel this week in fear of an Iranian attack.
Lahav Shani has replaced the Brahms with Beethoven’s triple concerto in which he will play the piano part and conduct from the keyboard.
