ARTScreen Free Film Series

“The Conductor” (Marin Alsop)

Join us for the screening of “The Conductor”, a documentary about Marin Alsop, the former conductor, and current Music Director Laureate, of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

“One of the foremost conductors of our time, Marin Alsop is the first woman to serve as the head of major orchestras in the United States, South America, Austria, and Great Britain. Winner of the 2025 Golden Baton Award from the League of American Orchestras, Alsop is also the first and only conductor to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.”  – marinalsop.com

Nominated for an EMMY for Best Arts and Culture Documentary “Alsop’s biography is a story of continually challenging a field in which the sexist idea that women can’t conduct persists.” – The New York Times

ARTScreen is a FREE film series celebrating the arts and/or film genres and offering complimentary refreshments, candy and popcorn! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Door prizes, too! Sponsored by the City of Fairfax Commission on the Arts.
