STATEMENT FROM THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ABOUT JAMES LEVINE

Boston Symphony Orchestra Managing Director, Mark Volpe, reported today that its Music Director, James Levine, was released from the hospital this past weekend. According to Mr. Volpe, Maestro Levine was hospitalized on Tuesday, July 15, for surgery to remove a growth in his kidney.

Tom Levine, James Levine’s brother, reported to Mr. Volpe that doctors “found the growth to be malignant, but it was very small and confined to the central area of his right kidney, which was then removed. Fortunately, as the growth was discovered early enough, it had not spread to the surrounding tissues, blood vessels, or lymph nodes.”

Doctors reported the surgery was completely curative and no further treatment is necessary. Tom Levine also stated that his brother was very relieved by the doctors’ report, is in very good spirits recuperating at home, and looks forward to conducting the opening events of the 2008/2009 seasons of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera in September. Maestro Levine is Music Director of both institutions.
