With genius, humanity, and vision, Marin has led both on and off the podium. In raising the standard for how the BSO uses the power of music to change lives, she has instilled values that will continue to shape how we carry out our mission – through her transition to Music Director Laureate and OrchKids Founder next season, and long into the future. Join the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as we celebrate Music Director Marin Alsop during The Marin Festival.

The Gala Celebration honors Marin’s commitment to diversity in our industry.
Commemorating Juneteenth, the BSO and Wordsmith will perform the world premiere and BSO commission of James Lee III’s Destined Words.
