The head of the Kennedy Center’s National Symphony Orchestra is stepping down after a “really hard year” at the performing arts venue that President Donald Trump has overhauled.
Jean Davidson, who became executive director in April 2023, told The New York Times of the frustration that followed from Trump’s intrusion in the Kennedy Center’s affairs by naming himself chairman and installing MAGA loyalist Richard Grenell as its president.
“It’s no secret that this has been a really hard year,” Davidson said. “So I started looking for a new opportunity several months ago.”
