PEOPLE, Page 70Playing a Windy City Serenade
Au revoir Bastille, allo Toddlin' Town. That is the fate of
French conductor DANIEL BARENBOIM, 46, whose appointment to be
musical director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was announced
last week. He will replace GEORG SOLTI, 76, who officially retires
in 1991. Meanwhile, Barenboim will conduct part time. He may need
the work. The French government last month removed him as head of
the Opera de la Bastille, partly because of his $1.1 million salary
and highbrow tastes. His Windy City plans include joint ventures
with museums and schools. Says he: "I hope the cultural life of
Chicago might be more than the sum of its parts."
