If I was the musician, I'd agree to do the concert, and I'd either deliver the absolute worst performance possible at the last moment - bonus points for warning potential Kennedy Center patrons in advance so they don't buy tickets for nothing - or I'd perform blatantly anti-fascist songs without warning.
