The Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship has announced a series of concerts by orchestras around the world during the 2022-23 season, to be led by nine women conductors who are alumnae of the program founded by Marin Alsop to promote gender diversity in music. In addition to performances, conductors at each location will participate in a weeklong residency with community and audience engagement events; masterclasses; open rehearsals; and talks with women and girls and at local universities and corporations. All locations will include performances by Israeli-American cellist Inbal Segev in Anna Clyne’s DANCE concerto.
