Sahuayo Concert Pulled From Morelia Music Festival After German Safety Advice

A warning from Germany's embassy over recent violence prompted the regional cutback, underscoring how security dictates this year's logistics.

Overview

  • The Sahuayo extension scheduled for November 16 was canceled by the municipal government after Germany, through its embassy, advised the Berlin Chamber Orchestra not to travel into the state.
  • The Festival de Música de Morelia’s main program in the capital runs November 14–23, with organizers reporting no artist withdrawals and German orchestra members already in Morelia.
  • Festival director Verónica Bernal said performers are expected to follow guidance from their own governments and affirmed respect for the German recommendation.
  • The planned Uruapan extension was deferred this year, with local authorities focused on security work and Apeam undergoing a leadership reorganization.
  • Organizers are preparing for possible transport disruptions from a November 15 national strike and already shifted a November 17 Sinfonietta concert to the Centro Cultural Clavijero.
