Classic Arts News Neeme J‹rvi to Fill in for Injured Son at Detroit Farewell Paavo J‹rvi will miss a scheduled guest-conducting appearance with the Detroit Symphony on June 17, 18, and 19 because of a hand injury, the DSO announced. His father, outgoing DSO music director Neeme J‹rvi, will replace him.
The concerts are part of a three-week festival honoring the elder J‹rvi at the conclusion of his 15-year tenure.

The program, which includes the world premiere of Erkki-Sven T‹‹r's Concerto for Violin, Clarinet, and Orchestra, is unchanged.

Paavo J‹rvi, music director of the Cincinnati Symphony, will also miss a gala tribute to his father on June 16. It will still feature performances by Neeme J‹rvi and his children Maarika, a flutist, and Kristjan, founder of the Absolute Ensemble and chief conductor of Vienna's Tonk‹nstler Orchestra.

"I am sorry that I cannot be in Detroit for my father's farewell concerts, but my family agrees that the timing is right for me to have minor medical treatment on my hand," said Paavo J‹rvi. "I look forward to getting back to work in a few days. I wish the Detroit Symphony and the Detroit fans the very best during this celebration and send all of my love to my father."
