XM and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra have teamed up to broadcast eight performances from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s 2007-2008 season on XM Classics (ch 110), starting in September.
The concert series will debut with a live broadcast on September 27th, the inaugural concert for Music Director Marin Alsop (pictured above - Photo Credit: Tracey Brown), who that evening will become the first female music director of a major American orchestra. Hosted by XM Classics Program Director Martin Goldsmith, the BSO series will feature insightful interviews with Marin Alsop, world-renowned soloists, BSO musicians, and many of today’s most distinguished composers.
The initial eight concerts, starting with the live inaugural concert at the Music Center at Strathmore in N. Bethesda, Md. - and followed the 2007-2008 season led by conductor Marin Alsop from the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore - will reflect the exciting and innovative programs characteristic of Alsop’s first full season with the BSO.

Marin Alsop is a true talent and a genuinely nice person. She used to lead the Denver Symphony Orchestra (which I guess does NOT count as a major American orchestra) and did a great job.
