Renowned composer and pianist Philip Glass announced he will be pulling his world premiere from the Kennedy Center, becoming yet another artist to cancel their scheduled appearance at the theater that has been remade in Donald Trump’s image.
Glass, who is just days away from his 89th birthday, announced his decision in a statement to the Washington Post. The composer was scheduled to perform his new and highly-awaited Symphony No. 15: “Lincoln” at the Kennedy Center this June. Glass said he could no longer perform under the Kennedy Center’s current leadership.
