The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has announced that Pierre Boulez will not be able to travel to Chicago to conduct in February 2014, due to health issues.
Maestro Boulez, 88, is the CSO's conductor emeritus. No further updates on his health are available at this time, a CSO spokesperson said.
Three young conductors hand-picked by Boulez will substitute for him, and the CSO will proceed with the two concert programs in late February. These programs highlight large orchestral scores such as Debussy's Jeux, and also take the audience on a journey through select miniatures by Igor Stravinsky for various-sized chamber ensembles.
