Daniel Barenboim will miss the season’s first four performances conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Barenboim, 61, is recuperating in Berlin from herniated discs in his back and a neck condition called cervical myelopathy that can cause weakness in the arms, symphony officials said.
Andrew Davis, music director of Lyric Opera of Chicago, will fill in for Barenboim tonight through Tuesday, officials said.
No changes have been announced for Barenboim’s remaining dates with the orchestra this month, scheduled for Sept. 17-18.
