Marin Alsop
Marin Alsop is an inspiring and
powerful voice in the international
music scene, a music director of vision
and distinction who passionately
believes that “music has the power to
change lives.” She is recognized across
the world for her innovative approach
to programming and for her deep
commitment to education and to the
development of audiences of all ages.
Marin Alsop made history with her
appointment as the 12th music director
of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
(BSO). With her inaugural concerts in
September 2007, she became the first
woman to head a major American
orchestra. She also holds the title of
conductor emeritus at the Bournemouth
Symphony in the United Kingdom,
where she served as the principal
conductor from 2002–2008.
Her success as the BSO’s music
director has garnered national and
international attention for her innovative
programming and artistry. Additionally,
her success was recognized when, in
2013, her tenure was extended to the
2020 – 2021 season. Alsop took up the
post of chief conductor of the São Paulo
Symphony Orchestra in 2012, where
she steers the orchestra in its artistic
and creative programming, recording
ventures and its education and
outreach activities.
In the summer of 2011, Maestra
Alsop served her 20th season as music
director of the acclaimed Cabrillo
Festival of Contemporary Music in
California. Musical America, which
named Maestra Alsop the 2009
Conductor of the Year, recently said,
“[Marin Alsop] connects to the public
as few conductors today can.”
