Marin Alsop of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is the first female head of a major metropolitan orchestra. She is also an out lesbian. She is guest conducting with the Los Angeles Philharmonic this Friday, December 12 in a program that contains two "wickedly difficult" pieces composed by Brahms (with a violin solo by Nikolaj Znaider) as part of their Casual Friday concerts at the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles.

Lesbian Conductor Marin Alsop In Town Friday
Marin Alsop of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is the first female head of a major metropolitan orchestra. She is also an out lesbian. She is guest conducting with the Los Angeles Philharmonic this Friday, December 12 in a program that contains two "wickedly difficult" pieces composed by Brahms (with a violin solo by Nikolaj Znaider) as part of their Casual Friday concerts at the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
She's a very fine conductor, btw. Have seen her conduct twice before.
ReplyDeleteThe concert will also be repeated on Saturday night as well as Sunday afternoon at 2pm, in both cases with the addition of the Brahms symphony #1.
Either program will be well worth the money.
