A Christmas Eve jazz concert scheduled for Dec. 24 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., was canceled after the name of President Donald Trump was added in connection with the event, according to publicly available information.
The holiday concert was planned as a public Christmas Eve performance at the federally supported arts center and was set to feature jazz music and seasonal arrangements.
The Kennedy Center has not released a detailed explanation for the cancellation. Public information identifies the association of Trump’s name with the concert as the reason for the decision. Organizers have not announced a replacement event for the same date or time.
Information on ticket refunds or exchanges has not been provided in available statements.
The Kennedy Center serves as a national cultural institution and also rents space to outside presenters. Its programming includes music, theater, dance, and other performing arts, with events produced by both internal staff and external organizers.
