For Immediate Release — Due to current travel precautions, violinist Itzhak Perlman has decided to cancel a 6-city U.S. tour. He was scheduled to appear with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under Yoel Levi in a sold-out concert at Atlanta Symphony Hall on March 11, 2020 and to perform 5 recitals in the Southeast region with pianist Rohan De Silva from March 12, 2020 through March 22, 2020.

Charlotte Lee of Primo Artists said: “With the emergence of coronavirus and recommended precautions by the CDC, it was advised that Mr. Perlman refrain from travel at this time. On this advice, we asked all 6 concert promoters whether he could abstain from the scheduled performances and we are grateful that they all immediately agreed to our request. We plan on rescheduling these appearances to the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons. Mr. Perlman is disappointed not to perform for the audiences. He asks for everyone’s understanding and sends good wishes to all those affected by the virus.”
