Chicago (AP) — Conductor Riccardo Muti has extended his contract as music director for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a year until the 2022-23 season.
The 80-year-old Italian succeeded Daniel Barenboim and became CSO music director in 2010.
Muti will lead a 10-week concert in Chicago and a 4-week tour. Tours include trips to China, Japan and Taiwan.
According to the CSO, Muti’s 2022-23 season will include Beethoven’s “Solemn Mass” performance in June 2023 and the world premiere of a work commissioned by the CSO by Jesse Montgomery.
Muti was supposed to be with the CSO’s opening performance on Thursday night, the first performance since February 2020, a pandemic gap.
