When Mehta joined the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969, Lahav Shani wasn’t even alive. Now, at the age of 30, the Israeli wunderkind is poised to succeed his mentor at the helm of the acclaimed symphony. Mehta, 83, is set to step down late this year after leading the orchestra for half a century and serving as its “music director for life” since 1981. (AP Photo/Paul Hurschmann, File)
