The Gala was scheduled to honor Slatkin and his return to the St. Louis area as a permanent resident. "We received communication from Leonard and Cindy Slatkin that Leonard Will undergo heart bypass surgery next week and regrettably is unable to participate in our gala," explains Marc Gordon, Executive and Artistic Director of CMSSL. "Leonard is expected to fully recover in about three months. CMSSL has put all matters related to our 10th Anniversary Gala on hold and will announce a decision on how to proceed early next week. Of course, we all wish Leonard well and a speedy recovery."
"Unfortunately, I cannot make the trip to St. Louis later this month. To say that I am disappointed is very much an understatement.," expressed Slatkin.
