Conductor will take up a new role with Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra for personal reasons'

Sir Simon Rattle is to leave the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in 2023 to become chief conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich.

Rattle said his reasons for accepting the Munich job were entirely personal, enabling me to better manage the balance of my work and be close enough to home to be present for my children in a meaningful way".
