The London Symphony Orchestra has switched conductors for its upcoming performance of Haydn’s Creation.

Here’s what they are telling concertgoers:

Sir Simon Rattle had a minor surgical procedure earlier this month which regrettably has not healed as quickly as expected. To allow proper time for recovery he has agreed with his doctors to cancel his conducting engagements with the LSO of Haydn’s Creation on 3 and 6 March.

The London Symphony Orchestra is delighted to announce that Harry Christophers has agreed to step in to conduct the concerts. We all wish Sir Simon a speedy recuperation.
