Washington Performing Arts announced they will not utilize The Kennedy Center for their upcoming season. Instead, they will perform at venues like the Music Center at Strathmore and Lisner Auditorium. Highlighted performances include Sigourney Weaver, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma, and Midori. A spokesperson emphasized a thoughtful approach to matching artists and venues. The decision follows a trend where other artists have also avoided the Kennedy Center under its new management, amid financial and leadership controversies surrounding the center, particularly after comments made by President Trump.
"we assessed the variety of artists and performances we have in this upcoming season and decided it was best to explore new spaces that offer fresh possibilities."
"The center also had $10 million in a 'Sustainability Fund' when she left, Rutter said."
