This just isn't a freedom of speech issue, as I said. People take for granted the great public importance of what a major symphony orchestra does in a case like this or in general, but when it comes to public (i.e., government) funding of such artistic institutions, they are much less enthusiastic.
Well, guess what? That leaves orchestras much more subject to the whims of wealthy patrons, like the one who may have been behind the decision to cancel Ms. Lisitsa's performances, according to her. (Though I think Rick W's explanation is more likely.) That's the free enterprise system at work. And there is nothing illegal about it.
