The Grammy winner previously served as artistic advisor at large for the historic arts center before Trump’s takeover.
Renée Fleming became the latest performer to cancel scheduled appearances at the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, citing conflicts in her calendar.
She’s one of several high-profile entertainers who have canceled their Kennedy Center engagements amid President Donald Trump’s takeover of the institution and his renaming it to the Trump-Kennedy Center.
Fleming two concerts at the Kennedy Center were scheduled for May.
The Grammy winner’s cancellation may come as little surprise. She was the “Artistic Advisor at Large” for the center until she resigned last year. That departure came after Trump ousted Kennedy Center Chair David Rubenstein and President Deborah Rutter.
