Baltimore Symphony hires Marin Alsop

I just read an article in the New York Times, reporting that Marin Alsop will soon be named Baltimore Symphony's music director designate. She will be the first woman to serve as music director of a major US orchestra, and I am sure she'll do great things there. I've gotten to play in orchestras under her direction a couple of times before, and she will also be conducting the New World Symphony next April.
