In short:

Pianist Jayson Gillham says he chose to play Witness at a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) concert to "remind people" about the war in Gaza.

The MSO cancelled his next performance as a result of his comments, leading its musicians to pass a vote of no confidence in management on Friday.

What's next?

The MSO intend to reschedule Gillham's performance, with Gillham saying he hopes "to find a way forward".
