• 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.
