CULTURE FRONT: RU MUSIC PROPAGANDA

3. Music

• Orchestras and Concerts: Russian musicians and orchestras, particularly those with ties to the Russian state, have faced significant resistance. For example, the London Symphony Orchestra and other major Western ensembles have faced protests when including Russian conductors or performers.
• Tchaikovsky and Other Russian Composers: There has been public resistance to performances of works by Russian composers like Tchaikovsky, with some venues opting to remove their music from programs. However, this has been met with varying degrees of opposition, as some see it as a form of cultural censorship.
• Boycotts of Russian Music Events: Various classical music festivals and concert series in the West have chosen to cancel or avoid inviting Russian performers in protest of the invasion.
