Israeli jazz ensemble cancels Turkish show

26 June 2011 / AP, JERUSALEM
An Israeli jazz ensemble said it has canceled an appearance in Turkey because of threats by pro-Islamic protesters.

Itamar Erez said his Adama ensemble was to have played in İstanbul over the weekend, at the invitation of the Akbank Sanat foundation. But he said after the Israeli consulate publicized the show, it drew the attention of anti-Israel radicals who threatened to disrupt it.

He said the ensemble canceled the show at Akbank Sanat's suggestion.

A peace concert in İstanbul featuring an Israeli singer was canceled for security concerns earlier this month after pro-Islamic protesters threatened to disrupt it.
