Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship

The Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship is a programme to encourage and support women conductors.[1] It holds a biennial event to select conductors to join the fellowship scheme. It was founded in 2002 by Marin Alsop, as the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship.[2][3][4][5] The organisation promotes gender diversity in conducting and is one of the most sought programs in the sector.[6] As of June 2026, thirty women conductors have benefitted from selection for participation in the scheme.[7]
