Riccardo Muti will assume the title of music director-designate in January, beginning to take on duties of auditions and artistic planning in conjunction with current podium leaders Bernard Haitink and Pierre Boulez. The 2009-2010 season will be his first as music director -- a position empty since the controversial departure of Daniel Barenboim two years ago.
