Russian piano prodigy's performances canceled, despite denouncing invasion

Alexander Malofeev, a young Russian piano prodigy, denounced Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Orchestras in the U.S. and Canada have nonetheless canceled his performancesat the futher expense of San Francisco Symphony's Russian director, recently diagnosed with cancer.

20-year-old Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev was supposed to perform three times this week, but the Montreal Symphony Orchestra canceled those performances due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine an invasion Malofeev condemned after losing a separate gig in Vancouver.
