One of the foremost conductors of our time, Marin Alsop represents a powerful and inspiring voice. The 2023/24 season marks her fifth as chief conductor of the ORF Vienna RSO; her first as artistic director and chief conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony; and her first as principal guest conductor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra. She will begin a new position as principal guest conductor of The Philadelphia Orchestra in the 2024/25 season. She is also chief conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra residency at the Ravinia Festival.

A full decade after becoming the first female conductor of the Last Night of the Proms, Alsop made history again in September 2023, as both the first woman and the first American to guest conduct three Last Nights.

In 2021, she assumed the title of music director laureate and OrchKids Founder of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra after a 14-year tenure as music director, and in 2019, after seven years as music director, she became conductor of honour of Brazil’s São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP). Deeply committed to new music, she was music director of California’s Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music for 25 years.

Recognised with BBC Music Magazine “Album of the Year” and Emmy nominations in addition to GRAMMY, Classical BRIT and Gramophone awards, Alsop’s discography comprises more than 200 titles. The first and only conductor to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, she has also been honoured with the World Economic Forum’s Crystal Award, among many other awards and academic positions.
