Jonathon Heyward is Named Music Director of Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Dear Friends,Nearly two years ago, we came together – musicians, Board leadership, community representatives, and members of management – to assist the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in the search for our next Music Director.
Over the course of a truly extraordinary 2021-22 season, we had the opportunity to experience a dozen superb conductors from around the world lead our Orchestra. During each engagement, those of us on the search committee looked for the highest level of musicianship, informed first and foremost by musician feedback. It was equally as important for us to find a music director who would be a visionary leader with the potential to connect to the community, be visible in the world at large, and be an advocate for music and musicians.
