The Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra has removed Tchaikovsky from its programme of its upcoming concert \u2018in light of the recent Russian invasion\u2019.<\/p>\n

Tchaikovsky\u2019s 1812 Overture was due to be included in the orchestra\u2019s upcoming all-Tchaikovsky concert at St David\u2019s Hall on 18 March, but it was considered by the orchestra \u2018to be inappropriate at this time\u2019.<\/p>\n

The orchestra will instead present a programme centred around Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s Symphony No. 8, with John Williams\u2019s\u00a0The Cowboys Overture\u00a0<\/em>opening the concert, and a performance of Elgar\u2019s\u00a0Enigma Variations <\/em>in the second half.<\/p>\n
