Stephen Schwartz, who had
been asked 12 months ago to
host as a major composer of
renown by then-Board / management
of the
Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts --
despite his long history of collaborating
with the artistic endeavor which was
"founded to be an apolitical home for
free artistic expression for artists of
all nationalities and ideologies" Schwartz
now believes "it is no longer apolitical
and appearing there has become an
ideological statement."
He was the composer of Wicked,
Godspell, and Pippin. The invitation
to host came him at the end of 2024.
His last communications with then
managers / Board was in Feb. 2025.
