Gerard Schwarz will be conducting Beethoven's Ninth later this month from a stool, instead of his usual stance on the podium.

The maestro suffered a broken left leg and ankle (the latter requiring surgery) last week while skiing in Canada. Nonetheless, he showed up for a Seattle radio interview Monday and is keeping to his usual schedule.

"I always knew it was a dangerous sport, but I wish I could have been convinced another way," Schwarz said in a weekend e-mail.

He is scheduled to conduct Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 at 8 p.m. Dec. 28 and 29, and 2 p.m. Dec. 30 — plus the New Year's Eve festivities — at Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle. 206-215-4747 or www.seattlesymphony.org.

The information in this article, originally published December 12, 2007, was corrected December 13, 2007. Seattle Symphony conductor Gerard Schwarz was injured in a skiing accident at Whistler, B.C. A previous version of the story gave an incorrect location.
