Philharmonie de Paris Cancels MusicAeterna’s Concert

By Francisco Salazar

The Philharmonie de Paris has canceled musicAeterna’s upcoming concert on May 4, 2022.

In a statement, the orchestra said, “It is with regret that we inform you about the cancellation of the musicAeterna concert in Paris. A rich and elaborate program ‘The Sound of Light’ consisting of the extracts from the Baroque operas and ballets by Jean-Philippe Rameau requires the participation of musicians from different countries and an extended rehearsal period. In the current conditions of logistical constraints and the overall uncertainty, the implementation of this project is not possible.”

The concert was set to feature Seara Blanch and the music of Rameau.

This is the latest concert canceled for the orchestra, which has been under fire for being financed by the sanctioned Russian VTB Bank, which is closely linked to President Vladimir Putin.
