The Seattle Symphony has announced the sudden resignation of music director Thomas Dausgaard. His term was due to expire in the 2022/23 season. Moreover, he suddenly notified the orchestra of his resignation by e-mail.

Dausgaard was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1963 and is 58 years old. After studying at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen and the Royal College of Music in London, he became Principal Conductor of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra in 1997.
