The society is among the first in the North American arts world to take a firm stand in support of Ukraine.
The artistic director of the Vancouver Recital Society said she stands by the group’s decision to cancel a concert by Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev in response to the war in Ukraine, calling the choice a “horrible” one to make.
Leila Getz said she has been trying to book the 20-year-old “Russian genius” for six years, with two previous concerts postponed by pandemic-related issues. But even though there was a new date arranged for the event in August, the society has become among the first in the North American arts world to take a firm stand in support of Ukraine by cancelling it.

They really shouldn’t go there. Will someone tell me I’m wrong?
Either that or tell me why I’m right.
At first glance I read “Vancouver RECTAL society cancels performance by Russian”
I thought they were talking about gastroenterology.
Yeah uh huh. That’ll fix those ruskies.
That’ll show ‘em. It might even win the war for us. /sarc
So what does this guy have to do with the invasion? Nothing. When the US was at war in Afghanistan and Iraq we were always warned about “Islamophobia”. Why is this different?
Did Canada boycott the China Olympics?
Idiots run amok
The wokesters have taken out American girl sports, why not talented Russian pianists?
Can’t wait til these false virtue signalers “cancel them all mobs” crash and burn.
How long til we hit bottom?
What's next? Having ethnic Russians report to the nearest sports venue to await reassignment to relocation camps?
Earl Warren and FDR thought that was necessary even though J. Edgar Hoover strongly condemned it as a violation of human rights. But as Castro's b@$t@rd son showed us, you've got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
This is so stupid and hateful.
The guy is fantastic. Shame we can’t approve of a member of the human race achieving excellence without slapping a political label on them and punishing them for where they happen to be from or what their government is doing.
Same crap Australia and the US is doing to Novak Djokovic.
Keep treating Russians like this, and they will keep rallying around leaders like Putin.
Bleeping Morons!
Even in the Cold War and “Red Scare” era they didn’t go straight to ethnic hatred like this.
The Soviet Union wasn’t just Russians. Heck, even today Russians I believe only make up 70% of the total population of Russia, it’s actually a fairly diverse country.
This is completely ridiculous. They’re hurting some 20 y/o piano player because of Putin.
Russians are white.
It was essentially a mix of Scandinavians and Slavs in it’s inception. After the conquests of ‘The Golden Horde’ a large number of Asians.
LOL..... great minds and all that.
I’ve stopped drinking or dating Black Russians.
