Youth Wave continues The news that the Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons, 34, has been named music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra is the latest in what has felt like a youth trend in major American ensembles. Mr. Nelsons steps into a position left vacant since 2011, when James Levine resigned. It�s no surprise, after years of uncertainty, that the orchestra chose to replace Mr. Levine, now 69 and attempting a return to the podium, with a healthy man less than half his age. But even ensembles without this history have filled one directorship after another with conductors under 40, and even under 30, in the last few years. New York Times

Levine is back
On Sunday afternoon James Levine, one of the greatest living American conductors and a musician who has defined the Metropolitan Opera for more than 40 years, cruised onto the stage of Carnegie Hall in a motorized wheelchair and conducted the Met Orchestra in a substantial program, his first performance anywhere in more than two years. So he really is back. There are still big questions hovering over the Met about whether he can fulfill the duties of music director, which remains his title.

Composer to sue Brooklyn Phil
A Brooklyn Supreme Court judge has denied an attempt by the Brooklyn Philharmonic to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the composer Nathan Currier, who alleges that the orchestra broke a contract by abruptly terminating the premiere of his oratorio mid-performance at Avery Fisher Hall. The lawsuit alleges that the Brooklyn Philharmonic stopped the April 21, 2004 performance of Currier�s two-hour Gaian Variations mid-stream so that the musicians wouldn�t go into overtime.
