Before conductors find their place, they have other roles in the world of music. Usually, they’ve started their careers on one musical instrument before finding that standing on the podium is a much more interesting job. Can you guess what instrument each of these conductors first took the musical stage playing?
1. This American conductor was a mentee of another famous American conductor, Leonard Bernstein. As a student at the Juilliard School, she played with the New York Philharmonic and the New York City Ballet Orchestra. It was at Tanglewood, however, that she met and was forever inspired by Bernstein. Her conducting appearances have taken her all around the world – leading the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia, the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and others. She was being appointed Principal Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Her current appointment is as Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Before her conducting career, though, were bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School. What instrument did Marin Alsop play as a student?
