St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Conductor Laureate Leonard Slatkin, 65, suffered a heart attack while conducting a concert by the Rotterdam Philharmonic in the Netherlands on Sunday night.

The Detroit News reports that Slatkin suffered chest pains during the concert, but finished the performance. From there, he was taken to a hospital in Rotterdam, and where he had surgery to insert two stents.

Slatkin is currently music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The News quoted DSO spokeswoman Elizabeth Twork as saying that Slatkin is “fine and recovering.” He has canceled upcoming conducting dates this weekend with the Czech Philharmonic in Prague and November 10 in Pittsburgh, but - so far, at least - he hasn’t canceled his next scheduled concerts in Detroit, November 19 through 21.

SLSO director of communications Adam Crane passed along an email he received today from Slatkin: “So I had a heart attack,” Slatkin wrote. “Seems the Cardinals’ demise affected me more than you.”

Slatkin last performed in St. Louis on October 19. He led a select group of SLSO musicians in a concert at the home of Noemi and Michael Neidorff, given to thank patrons of the orchestra’s first gala in a decade.
