ABOUT MARIN'S WORK
Marin Alsop, principal conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and music director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, is among the most accomplished conductors working today. In addition to her masterful conducting technique and visionary artistic programming, Alsop is distinguished by her extraordinary ability to communicate, both with her orchestra and with her audience, successfully translating her musical ideas into symphonic sound with a signature style. In presenting concerts, she often addresses audiences directly and previews short passages demonstrating themes and motifs of pieces to be played. These engaging presentations demystify challenging music for a wide range of audiences. While honoring classical music heritage, Alsop is also deeply committed to bringing the work of living composers to orchestras, audiences, and critics around the world. Her discography ranges from gospel recordings to traditional symphonies to the music of contemporary American composers. Through her musicality, her skill in making the unusual understandable, and her championing of contemporary music, Alsop defies stereotypes and offers a new model of leadership for orchestras in the U.S. and abroad.
