Yes! An apology means nothing if it isn’t backed up by a commitment to do better and actions that show the commitment.

After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today (cont)

Philip Glass withdrew his symphony’s premiere on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s heartbreaking and impassioned Lyceum address in 1838. It’s worth the read:

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing β€œHey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Amazing!
Hoping this good news gets the attention it deserves – i.e., at least a fraction of the press that went to all of the anticipatory nay-saying your plan faced during your campaign.
Can’t wait to see what you and your team do next!

Such an incredible performance. Thanks for posting this, so I could see it again. The first time I saw it, I cried for pure joy - this time the tears were more complicated.
