MUSIC DIRECTOR
Marin Alsop
Marin Alsop is an inspiring and
powerful voice in the international music
scene who passionately believes that
“music has the power to change lives.”
She is recognized across the world for
her innovative programming and for her
deep commitment to education and the
development of audiences of all ages.
Her success as Music Director of the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has
been recognized by the extension of her
tenure until 2021. After her appointment
in 2007, Alsop launched OrchKids,
which provides music education and
instruments to Baltimore’s underserved
youth. She became Music Director of
the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in
2012 and made history in 2013 as the
first female conductor of the BBC’s Last
Night of the Proms, which she returned
to conduct in 2015.
Alsop conducts the world’s major
orchestras including the Leipzig
Gewandhaus Orchestra, Royal
Concertgebouw Orchestra and the
London Philharmonic Orchestra. As
a student of Leonard Bernstein, Alsop
is central to his 100 th -anniversary
celebrations, conducting Bernstein’s Mass
at the Ravinia Festival, where she serves
as Musical Curator for 2018 and 2019.
She recently concluded a 25-year tenure
as Music Director of the Cabrillo Festival
of Contemporary Music in California.
Alsop is the only conductor to receive
the MacArthur Fellowship and was
recently appointed Director of Graduate
Conducting at the Peabody Institute.
She attended the Juilliard School and
Yale University, which awarded her an
Honorary Doctorate in 2017.
