Given that it is Mother's Day, I wanted to share this video of this poor woman being beat senselessly in Havana and give my dearest wishes to every mother of a political prisoner in Cuba. It is unimaginable what they must go through on a daily basis, and how little of it ends up being documented so that people could possibly understand their pain.

I want to be clear as well that the Cuban Regime and its collaborators routinely beat, intimidate, harass, and so much more to the families of political prisoners on the daily as acts of repudiation. This is not a one time event.

I find this really brave and appreciate Lang Lang's support of Andris Nelsons and BSO musicians! 🌹 i say Bravo for such a wonderful musician such as Lang Lang to take a brave stance such as this, and I have seen the wonderful musical chemistry of Lang Lang and Andris Nelsons with the BSO live.

I find them both to be in a golden age of recording and greatly look forward to see Lang Lang play Beethoven piano concertos with Andris and the BSO in the upcoming season and hope to see more in the future.
