NY Philharmonic Director Kurt Masur Doing Well After Kidney Transplant |
|
Kurt Masur, music director of the New York Philharmonic, was reported doing well following a kidney transplant in Germany, the hospital said. The 74-year-old conductor suffered no complications during the operation, which was performed at the University Clinic in Leipzig. The kidney donor was a nephew, family members said. Masur's final season as the Philharmonic's musical director began Sept. 20 with a televised performance of Brahms' "German Requiem" in memory of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He is scheduled
to return to the Philharmonic on Feb. 7 for a performance of Wagner's
"Tristan and Isolde." Other sources: AP, DPA |
