“Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony,” Glass wrote in the letter, which was shared with CNN. “"Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership.”


New signage is unveiled to show President Donald Trump's name added on the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, on December 19, 2025.




The Kennedy Center has been hit with a string of abrupt cancellations in the wake of its board of trustees’ adding President Donald Trump’s name to the landmark performing arts institution.
