Lupu will miss scheduled concerts with Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony, and the National Symphony Orchestra between February 8 and 19. He is still scheduled to perform in four concerts with the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall at the beginning of February, a representative of the hall said.
Yuja Wang will step in for Lupu in the NAC Orchestra concerts on February 8 and 9; Janina Fialkowska will replace him on the Toronto Symphony's program for February 12 and 13; and Peter Serkin will replace him in the National Symphony Orchestra's concerts on February 17, 18, and 19.
