russian musical vampires plan to play 4 concerts in Spain — two in Barcelona (May 14 and 15), two in Madrid (May 17 and 18 2023).
UPD: May 12 Zaragoza https://www.beckmesser.com/currentzis-gira-musicaeterna/
Here is what the organizers of the Barcelona concert write: L’Auditori &Ibercamera:
«Teodor Currentzis returns to L’Auditori de Barcelona through Ibercamera. He will visit us for the first time with musicAeterna, his own orchestra with which he develops most of his career and recordings. Mahler’s 9th is an essential reference of the Romantic repertoire. Premiered after the composer’s death, it is structured in four movements that lead to the extraordinary Adagio (Sehr langsam und noch zurückhaltend) in which Mahler wants to sublimate the sufferings of the end of his existence.»
Go to the orchestra website. This is a russian orchestra that is localized and works in russia. In May he will play in Moscow and St. Petersburg, followed by four concerts in Spain, two in Barcelona (May 14 and 15), two in Madrid (May 17 and 18). After that, the orchestra returns to russia again. To russia, which is dropping bombs on Ukrainian cities, which has caused a global humanitarian catastrophe, which is threatening the world with nuclear weapons. The orchestra musicAeterna continues to legitimize the power of the dictator — what its creator, Currentzis, has been doing since his appearance in russia from 1994.

Why are russian musical vampires going to Spain?
Because they noticed that the local public willingly paid for the performances of russian artists during the war. And illegible — the Spanish public does not attach importance to the connections of artists with murderers and thieves and with sponsors who fell under sanctions. The general sponsor of the orchestra is VTB Bank.
«VTB was one of the first banks to be excluded from the SWIFT global payments system after russian forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Both the U.S. and Britain placed individual sanctions on the bank’s chief, Andrei Kostin, who is a close associate of russian president vladimir putin.» themoscowtimes.com Apr 5, 2023
It does not matter what is the reason for such lack of solidarity between the inhabitants of Barcelona and Madrid in relation to the people of Ukraine. Whether this is naivety, or a personal interest in supporting russia, I mean corruption and participation in russian propaganda and justification of the war. Only the fact that the authorities and cultural institutions are promoting the russian trend is important.
In April 2022, at the request of the Ambassador of Ukraine to Austria, 2 concerts led by Currentzis in the Wiener Konzerthaus: canceled. Ukrainian Ambassador to Austria Vasily Khiminets, as well as Ukrainian violinist Vira Zhuk spoke out against the conductor’s tour.
Paris and Munich Currentzis-concerts in May 2022: cancelled.
For these concerts, justifying the genocide of the Ukrainian people, very specific people are responsible. Each of them has a name and reputation, colleagues, neighbors and relatives. Let’s remind them of their reputation and responsibility for the advancement of the russian world and connivance towards the advancement of the russian world.
Both in Barcelona and Madrid, the logos of the highest authorities — Spain and Catalonia — are on the site page. That is, all this happens with the direct approval of the authorities and politicians are personally responsible.

My letter to Ibercamera: Currentzis? Por lo que veo, no dejáis vuestros esfuerzos a los colaboradores con el régimen de putin, lo que significa que apoyas el genocidio de los ucranianos. A pesar del hecho de que la invasión rusa de Ucrania a gran escala ha estado ocurriendo durante más de un año, constantemente estás arrastrando a músicos rusos al país que respeta los derechos humanos! Esta vez lleva toda una orquesta y un director que no solo son leales al régimen, sino que también tienen un patrocinador: un banco bajo sanciones VTB. Los ucranianos no tienen dudas sobre su participación personal en el régimen de Putin, y nunca borrarán esta vergüenza. ¡Cancelación inmediata de los conciertos de Currentzis y su orquesta! O obtendrá protestas de la diáspora ucraniana.

L’Auditori: «Agraïm els seus comentaris que sempre tenim en compte i ens ajuden a millorar. L’organitzador d’aquest concert és Ibercàmera, promotor extern, a qui traslladarem els seus comentaris. Habitualment, al nostre sector, els artistes es contracten a anys vista. Segurament per aquest motiu els compromisos d’Ibercàmera són de fa molt temps. De tota manera, remetem el seu escrit a l’organitzador del concert. Rebi una cordial salutació, L’Auditori»

общий смысл: Директор Венского концертного зала Маттиас Наске в рамках презентации программы объявил, что хочет отмежеваться от Курентзиса из-за его молчание об российской агрессии в Украине.

27.4.2023 Currentzis sponsor sends private army to Ukraine Norman Lebrecht
April 27, 2023
The Russian energy giant Gazprom has recruited a private army to fight alongside failing Russian forces in Ukraine. Yesterday, a Gazprom unit known as PMC Potok, got into a firefight with the Wagner Group, which is supposedly fighting on the same side. Wagner mercenaries complained loudly on social media.
Gazprom has been the principal sponsor (pictured) of the Greek-Russian conductor Teodor Currentzis, who is still being engaged by useful idiots in the music business in Germany and Austria. They should be aware of the bloodstains on his contract.
