Maestro undergoes surgery after falling off his bike
mainTonight’s farewell to Linz by long-serving music director Dennis Russell Davies has been cancelled after the maestro suffered an accident while out on his bicycle.
Dennis, 73, is undergoing surgery this afternoon in Linz and is expected to make a full recovery. He will be replaced tomorrow in the scheduled repeat performance of Mahler 3 in Vienna by Francesco Angelico, chief conductor of the Tyrolean Landestheater.
DRD with best pal Phil Glass
The US conductor has been in charge of the Bruckner Orchestra for 15 years.
Sad time for conductors at this moment :):)
I will never forget his concerts with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
Speedy recovery! Best wishes
