In 2022, the Taki Alsop Conducting Fellowship launched its Mentoring Program which provides 10 free mentoring sessions with TACF alumni to 10 additional conductors every year. The program was funded by AT&T for the first three years and will continue with the generous support of the Sherman Family Foundation.
In addition to providing free mentoring to additional conductors, the Mentoring Program is providing Mentoring experience to TACF alumni conductors, expanding the TACF network of women conductors, and collecting research and data to create a mentoring model for the future.
To be able to be part of this program has been a huge inspiration for me. The fact that a personality like Marin, the mentors and all the people working to make this program possible, all of you with incredible busy agendas devotes time and energy to help young conductors in the beginning of the career creates heartwarming sense of hope and belonging to a community, which is particularly significant given the competitive and solitary nature of this profession.
