Ukrainian-born pianist Valentina Lisitsa was paid by Canada’s Toronto Symphony Orchestra NOT to play. No, it's not about her skills, it's about her political views. She's been extensively twitting on Ukraine from afar and her thoughts don't really fall in line with western narrative. On Facebook the soloist appealed to thousands of her fans saying that her scheduled concert in Toronto was cancelled. Lisitsa says that an aggressive lobbyist group claiming to represent the Ukrainian community pressured the orchestra into banning her performance. Her tweets were used as 'proof' that she was inciting hatred and the orchestra bought it.
