Marin Alsop Conductor Emeritus
After six years as our Principal Conductor (2002 – 2008), Marin Alsop remains a frequent visitor in her position as Conductor Emeritus, most recently in November 2018 to conduct Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms' as part of the Bernstein at 100 celebrations.
One of the most in-demand conductors in the world today, Marin won widespread critical and popular acclaim during her time as our Principal Conductor. Highlights included winning the Royal Philharmonic Society Conductor Award and Gramophone Artist of the Year Award in 2003, being named Female Artist of the Year at the 2005 Classical BRITS, and a stunning performance of Bartok’s Bluebeard’s Castle.
Marin is currently Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, and in September 2013 made history as the first female conductor of The Last Night of the Proms.
