La partition de la honte

Un édito de Dorian de Meeûs.

Israeli-born conductor Lahav Shani performs with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, during the Festival of Joy concert, outside of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, on May 8, 2018. The Munich Philharmonic orchestra's performance at a Belgian festival has been cancelled over concerns about its Israeli conductor, organisers said on September 10, 2025, sparking a furious reaction from Berlin. The Munich Philharmonic had been due to perform on September 18, 2025 at the Flanders Festival Ghent, led by its future chief conductor, Israeli musician Lahav Shani. But Shani, who officially takes over as conductor of the Munich orchestra for the 2026/27 season, is currently music director of the Israel Philharmonic. As a result, festival organisers said they were "unable to provide sufficient clarity about his attitude" towards the Israeli government, whose ongoing war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza has triggered international uproar.

Lahav Shani

Le Festival de Flandre pensait envoyer un signal fort en annulant le concert gantois de l'Orchestre philharmonique de Munich. Son chef, Lahav Shani, jeune musicien charismatique et talentueux, dirige également l'Orchestre philharmonique d'Israël. Voilà son "tort" : être israélien. Peu importe qu'il se soit exprimé à plusieurs reprises pour la paix et la réconciliation : pour les organisateurs, cette identité suffit à le rendre complice "du régime génocidaire de Tel-Aviv".
