The Rockford Symphony Orchestra has lost its longstanding music director to an unspecified accident.
It says Steven Larsen was ‘injured in an accident last week and is recuperating in a hospital’.
A guest conductor has been called in for the Holiday Pops.
Larsen is a past Illinois Conductor of the Year. This is his 28th season as music director in Rockford, Ill.
Be careful out there.
Illinois has a “Conductor of the Year”? Isn’t that just a euphemism for “Mafia Approved”?
tommy guns in violin cases out there too
That’s really a dumb thing to say.
Thanks for your understanding and support, Doug
Steve, I’ll be seeing a group of our Ridgewood classmates on Friday. If you don’t mind, I’ll pass the news on and they can send get well wishes to you. Hope your recovery is a speedy one.
