The American conductor, who will also head up 2023’s Last Night of the Proms, will conduct seven symphonic concerts during the 2023\/24 season <\/p>
The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra<\/a> (NOSPR) has announced Marin Alsop as its new artistic director and chief conductor.<\/strong><\/p>\n Alsop\u2019s directorship will begin with the 2023\/24 season, soon after she has conducted 2023\u2019s Last Night of the Proms<\/strong><\/a>. She will work closely with NOSPR\u2019s general and programme director Ewa Bogusz-Moore in shaping the orchestra\u2019s programme and develop its national and international reputation.<\/p>\n Alsop made her debut with the orchestra in February 2021 and has since conducted 15 concerts, toured it to Japan and led three conducting masterclasses with the orchestra. As artistic director, she will conduct seven symphonic concerts during the 2023\/24 season, including the second edition of the Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition and the recording of Krzysztof Penderecki\u2019s opera The Black Mask<\/em>.<\/p>\n During a visit to Katowice in March 2023, Alsop led a masterclass and short performance with young Ukrainian conductors as part of the SPLOT\u2013UA Residency programme for Ukrainian creatives. They presented a piece by Polish composer Agata Zubel and the ensemble included musicians from the NOSPR Academy.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m thrilled to accept this appointment and excited to continue our already thriving relationship,\u2019 says Alsop. \u2018Our Japan tour last September and our ongoing recording and concert projects are part of a new vision for the 21st-century orchestra.<\/p>\n \u2018Together with Ewa Bogusz-Moore, I look forward to innovative projects such as Penderecki\u2019s rarely performed The Black Mask<\/em> and recording the music of wonderful composers like Gra\u017cyna Bacewicz and Agata Zubel. NOSPR\u2019s existing commitment to mentoring the next generations of musicians and conductors also aligns with my personal commitment to the future of classical music.\u2019<\/p>\n Dating back to 1935, NOSPR was Poland\u2019s first independent radio symphony orchestra and has been based in the city of Katowice since the 1940s. It has collaborated with the likes of Leonard Bernstein and Martha Argerich, and premiered works by major composers including Witold Lutos\u0142awski and Krzysztof Penderecki.<\/p>\n Alsop continues in her role as as chief conductor with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. She was also recently unveiled as the Philharmonia\u2019s new principal guest conductor<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Pictured: Ewa Bogusz-Moore (NOSPR general and programme director) and Marin Alsop.
