Key Points:

  • Béla Fleck, a 17-time Grammy-winning banjoist, has canceled his upcoming performances with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.
  • The concerts were scheduled for mid-February, but Fleck withdrew due to the venue becoming "charged and political."
  • Fleck expressed a desire to perform with the NSO again in the future when the focus can be solely on the music and art.
