...canceled scheduled performances. An English chamber-music ensemble has sent its regrets; the Los Angeles Symphony and the Philadelphia Woodwind Ensemble have joined the boycott.

...period. The ads are the work of the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency, which has previously turned out copy ("We must be doing something right") for the company's Rheingold brand.
