[1][3] The Vancouver Recital Society attracted criticism in 2022 for using Russian ethnicity as a basis for whether or not it would require statements of solidarity with Ukraine from its performers.

Getz pointed instead to the possibility of a confrontation with protesters as the primary reason for cancelling Malofeev's concert.
