That's very sad.

This kind of thing is inevitable with Brexit. Musicians are ready to
travel and stand in at a moments notice - if a counter tenor is needed
tonight, he is needed tonight - not in three weeks when a working visa
can be arranged. This orchestra has done the right thing in moving to
a location that preserves its freedom of artistic choice.

Yes, in the circumstances. But it's kind of a pity for anybody in the UK who
does care about such music, especially any students who might have spent
years of their life working towards getting a place in such an orchestra.
But, as you say, inevitable. Just one of the smaller reasons why I do not
have a good opinion of Brexit.
