Marin Alsop's Baltimore

Marin Alsop has been the music director of the Baltimore Symphony for several years now and recently had her contract extended to 2015. She has been a big success in Baltimore and has made many recordings with the orchestra for Naxos. One project includes all the Dvorak symphonies. Last week she also began her inaugural season as music director of the Sao Paulo Symphony in Brazil. She will also record with that orchestra and they will make a European tour together this summer. In this video Alsop talks about Baltimore as a place to live and make music. For more on Alsop check out her website at www.marinalsop.com.
