The orchestra cancelled Gillham's performance after he made comments regarding journalists' killings in Gaza. Gillham pursued legal action against the orchestra, claiming workplace discrimination. The case has now concluded against Gillham.

The concert cancellation followed Gillham's raising of the issue of journalists' deaths in Gaza.
