The performance of the renowned pianist Elizabeth Leonskaya, scheduled to take place on December 4 in the concert hall of Eindhoven, was canceled. This was announced by the concert hall on November 19, with the statement: “Circumstances leave us with no choice but to cancel the concert scheduled for December 4.” The reason given was her performance with a free concert for military personnel in Moscow, which was interpreted as support for Russia’s conflict in Ukraine. Additionally, Leonskaya’s Russian origin was noted despite her Austrian citizenship.
