An international competition announced the removal from the program of its works of great Russian musicians such as Dmitriy Shostakovich, Sergey Prokofiev, Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Alexander Glazunov, in an absurd statement to punish all Russian.
In details, on the official website of the Rodolfo Lipitzer International Violin Competition held in Italy, it is stated that for the last part of this international violin playing competition, these Russian musicians have removed their works from the program.
The organizers of the particular music competition had previously banned three Russian female musicians from participating, which led the FVG orchestra they had worked with to announce that they would not participate in the competition to protest this arbitrary and bizarre move.
