Their sold-out concert in Cleveland was cancelled after they were not allowed entry to the U.S. The ensemble was prevented from crossing the Canada – U.S. border by US customs officials.

They found it suspicious that one Slovenian association in Cleveland made profit by selling tickets for the concert. The ensemble then tried to cross into the U.S. via another border check point. They were then given a three-week entry ban to the U.S.

Prior to that the ensemble had successful concerts in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto.
