The news mentioned in this episode is the exclusion of the Russian violinist Lidia Kocharian and two other Russian violinists from the 41st International Violin Competition organized by the Rodolfo Lipizer Music School of Gorizia. This decision was officially communicated to the violinist with these words: “following the European provisions deriving from the Russia-Ukraine war and following the example of other competitions in various disciplines”.

Lidia Kocharian, interviewed by Berenice Galli, recounts this experience, confirming that it is not an isolated case but is part of a real anti-Russian campaign. M° Stefano Burbi, composer and conductor, after expressing his solidarity with Lidia and her colleagues, explains the extreme gravity decision to exclude from the international competition the three violinists because they are Russian. At the end of the program, Lidia Kocharian dedicates one of her pieces to the Byoblu audience.
