San Francisco’s International Pride Orchestra says it was “disinvited” from presenting a summer Pride Celebration Concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — the same day that President Donald Trump took control of the national cultural institution as chairman of its board of directors.

The abrupt termination of seven months of engagement negotiations came on Feb. 12, dashing expectations after an invitation to perform as part of one of the Kennedy Center’s programs had been extended, according to an orchestra representative.
