American conductor James Conlon, who made his reputation in Europe and has recently become a big name in the U.S. as well, may be near the top of the Detroit Symphony’s music director wish list to succeed the outgoing Neeme Jarvi. Unfortunately, Conlon is so busy that he won’t have time to conduct in Detroit until June 2006, and he is also about to start two new jobs in America (as director of the Los Angeles Opera and of the Chicago Symphony’s summer festival at Ravinia.) Still, the DSO has invited Conlon to conduct its 2005-06 season finale.
