Conductor Levine recovers from fall

James Levine, music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is still recovering after taking a tumble as he left the stage at the end of a concert.

Levine didn’t break anything during Wednesday’s fall, but as of Friday he was still “experiencing considerable soreness and discomfort in his shoulder” and may need to continue resting through the weekend, the orchestra’s managing director Mark Volpe said.

Jens Georg Bachmann, assistant conductor, filled in for Levine on Thursday and also was to lead Friday’s concert.
