Martha Argerich Is Canceling Concerts Due To ‘Serious Health Issues’

Just what those issues are hasn’t been stated, but that’s the phrase used in the announcement that the 76-year-old pianist won’t be making a scheduled appearance in Athens next month. Last week she cancelled what was to have been her Australian debut, saying in a statement, “I am unable to travel and play in this moment, feel very weak, exhausted and having physical pains that worry me.”
