On Other Podiums: Conductor Seiji Ozawa, 56, won’t be able to conduct Friday’s opening-night program at the Tanglewood Music Festival in Massachusetts because of tendinitis in both shoulders. He will be replaced by Roger Norrington, but hopes to be ready for a Boston Symphony Orchestra concert with Jessye Norman on July 10. . . . Meanwhile, not far away in Upstate New York, former “Tonight Show” band leader Doc Severinsen was on the podium Tuesday night in his new role as principal pops conductor for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. His program included Puccini arias, baroque cornet solos, music by Shostakovich and Andrew Lloyd Webber and selections from John Williams’ score for “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.”
