Conductor Riccardo Chailly Quits Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra

It has been announced that Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly is set to step down as Chief Conductor of Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra, in June of next year – four years before his contract was due to expire.

It is understood the 62 year old, who has served the role since 2005, did not specify a reason for his early departure.

Maestro Chailly also currently serves as Principal Conductor of Milan's La Scala opera house – and was just last month appointed the Music Director of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra.
