Riccardo Muti is concluding his 13-season tenure as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in June. There has been much speculation about what the Maestro’s future with the CSO might be after he steps down. The 2023-24 season was announced last week, and a familiar name will be opening it: Riccardo Muti.
