The 62-year-old Austrian has been Cleveland's music director since the 2002-03 season, when he succeeded Christoph von Dohnányi.
Welser-Möst, a three-time Grammy Award nominee, withdrew in July from a new production of Verdi's "Macbeth" at the Salzburg Festival just three weeks before opening night. He remains scheduled to conduct the Cleveland Orchestra's opening performances of the season starting Sept. 28.
