Kennedy Center dealt another blow as National Symphony Orchestra leader quits amid Trump takeover
The Donald Trump-controlled Kennedy Center has lost yet another integral member of its performing arts community: Jean Davidson, the executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra.
Davidson, who first assumed the position in April 2023, has said she is stepping down, citing the “current climate.”
“It’s no secret that this has been a really hard year,” she told The New York Times. “So I started looking for a new opportunity several months ago.”
She said that she “had hoped to stay through the 100th anniversary of the N.S.O. in 2031.” The National Symphony Orchestra was founded in the nation’s capital in 1931 by cellist and conductor Hans Kindler. It has been an artistic affiliate of the Kennedy Center since 1986.
