NEW YORK — Carnegie Hall is saying “nyet” to two prominent, Putin-supporting musicians who were supposed to perform at the vaunted concert space this weekend.
“Recent world events” have booted prominent Russian conductor and Russian President Vladimir Putin pal Valery Gergiev off the world-renowned stage, where he will not conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the venue said Thursday.
Also absent will be pianist Denis Matsuev, another Putin supporter.
