A Few Things to Know

  1. Conductor Jonathon Heyward and composer Hannah Kendall have worked together many times, with Heyward advocating for Kendall’s orchestral music worldwide. “With Hannah’s music,” Heyward explained in a Seattle Times interview, “you really understand the journey and the narrative behind everything.”
  2. Pianist Alice Sara Ott is famous for her explorative approach to music, blending styles, performing in unconventional spaces and collaborating with artists of all genres. Ott was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2019, and through her illness, she has found deeper vulnerability in performance and leads an open dialogue with the public about artists who live with health challenges. 
  3. At 32 years old, Jonathon Heyward, who recently began his tenure as music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, is currently the youngest music director of any major U.S. orchestra.
