David Lockington was fired in 2021 as music director by the Pasadena Symphony Orchestra after refusing to submit to Covid vaccination. Lockingron, 61, said he was a Christian Scientist and the jab violated his relgious beliefs.

He sued the orchestra for religious discrimination, demanding unpecified damages and reinstatement. Earlier this month,, the case reached the Los Angeles Superior Court where a representative of the orchestra informed the judge that the case had been settled out of court.

No details have been disclosed but there is no sign that Lockington, 62, has got his job back.
