As Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra since 2007, Maestra Alsop’s bold initiatives contribute to the wider community and reach new audiences. Shortly after her arrival in Baltimore, she and the orchestra launched “OrchKids,” a revolutionary program that provides music education, instruments, mentorship and inspiration to some of the city’s neediest young people. Under her leadership, the orchestra also offers adult amateur musicians the opportunity to play side-by-side with professional musicians through the BSO Academy and Rusty Musicians programs. Marin Alsop is the only conductor to receive the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, and was inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2013, she became the first woman to conduct the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms. Alsop was appointed Principal Conductor of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in 2012, and became its music director in July 2013. She is also music director of California’s Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.
