Who's Hank

In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

Conductor Marin Alsop!
In 1989 Marin Alsop was a student conductor at Tanglewood, Massachusetts, where she worked with and learned from Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa. Her interest in Brahms, Mahler and Bartók is coupled with a passion for American composers — Barber, Bernstein, Gershwin, Glass and others.
Almost twenty years later, in October, 2007, she was named music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. What a prestigious appointment! There was a well-known issue about her, as a conductor, that some members of the orchestra did not accept, at first. But…Ms. Alsop persevered, and the rest is history.
