Conductor Riccardo Muti has been cleared to resume concerts at the CSO, according to an announcement Monday from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.

“After two consecutive days of negative COVID-19 test results over the weekend, Music Director Riccardo Muti resumed rehearsals for Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera on Sunday,” a spokesperson for the CSOA said in the announcement. “He tested negative again today and rehearsals continue this afternoon, as scheduled. He is in good health and good spirts and looking forward to this week’s CSO program.”

Muti turned over the podium to conducting apprentice Lina González-Granados last week after testing positive for COVID, with González-Granados leading CSO subscription concerts June 16-18.

“Muti Conducts Verdi Un ballo in maschera” concerts are slated for June 23-28 at Symphony Center. More information at cso.org or by calling patron services at 312-294-3000.
