Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra
I am very sorry to cancel the planned concerts in Japan and disappoint my colleagues and my audience. Nevertheless, I have decided to take the decision to stop flying for my work, to show a new way of sustainable touring. I believe that it is possible that we take care of the climate and our beautiful earth while being artists, but we need to become aware of the damage that we are causing. I wish to lead as an example, so we can turn around the destruction and pollution that we are causing, to ensure a future for our children and the future generations.
Thank you for your understanding.
