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”?
