Cardiff orchestra removes Tchaikovsky from programme amid war
"There were also two military themed pieces as part of the programme - Marche Slave and 1812 Overture - that we felt were particularly inappropriate at this time.
"Whilst there are no plans to repeat the Tchaikovsky concert at the moment, we have no plans to change our summer and autumn programmes which contain pieces by Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakof. So, in summary, this is a one-off decision made with the best of intentions."Image caption,The move is the latest in a series of music resignations, cancellations and withdrawals that have been made since the Russian invasion.
