The Calgary Philharmonic has confirmed its taking action after controversial online comments made by two members of the orchestra.
“We have been made aware of deeply troubling comments posted online that do not represent the views of the Calgary Philharmonic,” the orchestra posted on Instagram on April 22.
In a statement released in September 2020, the orchestra wrote that"The investigation did find that Mr. Popovic has used racist and misogynistc language, which Mr. Popovic admitted to. “Perhaps it is something about translating and interpreting so much music from the past without any particularly accurate notational system which keeps us operating about 50 75 years behind most other industries,” she said, in an email to CTV News.
