At least one musician is planning to cancel their upcoming performance at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts after the center’s board added President Donald Trump’s name to its own.
A spokesperson for musician Kristy Lee, who is scheduled to perform Jan. 14 on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, told NOTUS that “we are in the process of canceling her scheduled performance.”
Other performers also expressed disdain and frustration about the name change. The Kennedy Center’s website now refers to the facility as “The Trump Kennedy Center,” and on Friday, workers affixed the words, “The Donald J. Trump and,” above the existing “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Performing Arts” on the center’s exterior.
