Detroit Symphony Won’t Renew Perlman Contract

After four years, the Detroit Symphony has decided not to renew Itzhak Perlman’s contract as the orchestra’s principal guest conductor. “Though Perlman, one of the world’s most famous violinists, will no longer hold an official post, his relationship with the DSO — which has blossomed from a risky experiment into a rousing artistic and marketing success — will continue.”
