Artistic and General Director Richard Tang Yuk confirmed this morning that The Princeton Festival has been forced to cancel the piano recital by Fei Fei Dong scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2015.
A computer problem has prevented the U.S. State Department from issuing visas for the past two weeks. While there are U.S. Consulates in China that are open for business starting today, and Dong was one of the first to be interviewed this morning (China time), her visa could not be processed in time for her to return to the U.S. in time for Friday’s concert.
The Princeton Festival deeply regrets this unforeseeable situation. There will be a full refund for all tickets to the piano recital.
