MUSIC DIRECTOR
Marin Alsop
Marin Alsop is an inspiring voice who
believes that “music has the power to
change lives.” She is recognized for her
innovative programming and for her
commitment to education and to the
development of audiences of all ages.
Her success as Music Director of the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO)
has been recognized by the extension
of her tenure until 2021. In Baltimore,
Alsop launched OrchKids, for the
city’s underserved youth, and the BSO
Academy program for adult-amateur
musicians. She became Music Director
of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra
in 2012 and Chief Conductor of
the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony
Orchestra in 2019.
Alsop conducts the world’s major
orchestras, including the Leipzig
Gewandhaus, Royal Concertgebouw,
Chicago Symphony and the London
Philharmonic orchestras. In 2013, she
became the first female conductor
of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms.
As a protégé of Leonard Bernstein,
Alsop was central to his 100 th -anniversary
celebrations, and conducted Bernstein’s
MASS at the Ravinia Festival, where she
served as Musical Curator for 2018 and
2019. Her extensive discography includes
a highly praised Dvořák cycle with the
BSO. Her dedication to new music is
demonstrated by her 25-year tenure as
Music Director of the Cabrillo Festival of
Contemporary Music and her launching
the BSO’s New Music Festival in 2017.
Alsop is the only conductor to receive
the MacArthur Fellowship, and she
is Director of Graduate Conducting
at the Peabody Institute. She attended
The Juilliard School and Yale University,
which awarded her an Honorary
Doctorate in 2017.
