The concert of Russian pianist Alexander Romanovsky, planned to be held in Italy on January 23, has been cancelled. Ukrinform reports this, citing Ukrainian activist Dmitry Smelyansky.
The show was planned to be held at the Sapienza University of Rome. Activists from 10 public organizations vowed to protest at the university, according to Smelyansky. They stated that the university should reject the event because Romanovski was speaking in Mariupol.
“The organizers were afraid of protesters and negative publicity,” the activist said.
At the concert, Romanovsky was replaced by Italian pianist Alessandro Simoni.
Smelyansky also said that, together with like-minded people in Germany and Austria, he was preparing protests to cancel Anna Netrebko’s performances there, the most recent of which was the Salzburg Festival on March 23.
