Judy, a young conductor in Baltimore, has looked up to Marin Alsop for many years “more because I love her programming and her passion for connection with audiences than because she’s also a woman,” so she’s assembled a repertoire report for Marin to see just how that programming breaks down.
A great and interesting list! I suppose it is not surprising that Marin’s list has the most in common with Leonard’s, but at 77 works it’s quite a bit shorter. There is a huge amount of music by living American composers, mostly done at her festival in Cabrillo of Contemporary Music (my teacher, Gerhard Samuel, was the festival’s first music director back in the day).
I wonder if we can look forward to some Dvorak symphony recordings from Marin soon? Doing no’s 5-8 in one year doesn’t look like an accident. Interestingly, unless we’ve overlooked something, Marin is the first conductor we’ve come across to go a year without conducting a Beethoven symphony (no Haydn either, nor Mendelssohn, Schubert, or Schumann and one Mozart- her interests seem much more on late Romantic and 20th c. repertoire than on classics, early Romantics or even Baroque composers).
I’m looking forward to seeing more lists of major conductors like Marin and Leonard, but it would also be great to have lists from some young conductors, university conductors and some more mid-sized orchestra’s like Patty’s. I’d love to see a repertoire report or two from some freelancers: what does a freelance violist get through in a year? I know some of you keep track of these things (you know who you are- don’t make me send my research assistant to your website!). What did you play this year, and how many orchestras did you go through?
What about composers? Many of you combine composition and performing- what did you write/perform/organize this year? Whatever you do, what did your artistic year look like?
