The Dutch conductor Pieter Jan Leusink has resigned from The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands, following a tribunal report that he promised women roles in exchange for sex.

Leusink said he was resigning after threats to himself and his associates.

His Classical Concerts Foundation said: ‘The basic principle is that the style, energy and pleasant atmosphere that make this company unique will be preserved.’
