Melbourne Symphony Orchestra says it made 'error' in cancelling pianist's performance after Gaza comments

• In short: The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra admits it made an error when it pulled pianist Jayson Gillham from an upcoming performance over comments he made about the killing of journalists in Gaza.

• The MSO said it made an "error" in cancelling his performance, but maintains their concert was not an appropriate place to express personal views.

• What's next? The orchestra's August 15 concert, which was expected to go ahead without Mr Gillham, has now been cancelled due to security issues but the MSO wants to reschedule the performance.
