Maestro Ozawa cancels 5 Japan concerts in March

Prominent conductor Seiji Ozawa has canceled five concerts slated to be held in Tokyo and four other Japanese cities in March, as he needs to continue his rehabilitation after recent surgery for back pain, his office said Thursday. Ozawa, 75, underwent endoscopic hernia surgery in mid-January and was instructed by his doctor to spend around half a year on rehabilitation, the office said.

In New York, Carnegie Hall announced the cancellation of his concerts scheduled there for April 1 and 2. Ozawa’s office said his concerts scheduled for April in Paris and Vienna are also currently being arranged for cancellation. Ozawa underwent surgery for esophagus cancer in January last year and made a comeback last summer.
