Béla Fleck is the latest artist to pull out of an upcoming performance at the Kennedy Center in the wake of Trump‘s takeover. The Grammy-winning banjoist was scheduled to perform with the National Symphony Orchestra in February, but announced nopw that he has cancelled.

“I have withdrawn from my upcoming performance with the NSO at The Kennedy Center,” Fleck wrote on social media. “Performing there has become charged and political, at an institution where the focus should be on the music. I look forward to playing with the NSO another time in the future when we can together share and celebrate art.”
