	Marin Alsop set to make history in Amsterdam - baltimoresun.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Last summer, Alsop became the first female music director designate of a major American orchestra when she was named to that post at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
		Alsop said that her gender "didn't seem to be much of a big deal" when she has conducted German orchestras.
		Although Alsop was not the first woman to conduct the Zurich orchestra - there have been five or six others in its 138-year history, Nordwall said - "Marin got extra attention not only because she is a good conductor, but also because she is a woman," he said.

	Telegraph \| Entertainment \| An architect of the imagination
		FOR Will Alsop, it is a remarkably restrained affair.
		Alsop confines his displays largely to the exhibition gallery, where images leap off an array of notebooks and paintings, seeming at first sight more like the work of an artist than an architect.
		It would be easy to see Alsop's architecture as a reaction to the controlling, rationalist tendency of High-Tech, were it not that his approach is much the same as it was when he was a student at the Architectural Association in 1970, when High-Tech was in its infancy.

		Alsop will be just the second woman in history to lead Holland's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra when she makes her debut in 2006.
		Alsop said she has been careful not to formulate a plan, because conducting careers have a tendency to follow unexpected paths.

		So it will have to be an enduring bright spot in a landscape that will look and feel like a mess for some time yet.
		Eventually, Fawood will be part of a new urban park, complete with nature trails and adventure play areas, surrounded by new homes and joined by a health and community centre, also designed by Alsop.

	Gabion: Will Alsop Underground 1/3
		When Will Alsop first designed his Jubilee Line underground station in North Greenwich, there were two things he did not expect.
		When the firm of Alsop, Lyall and Stormer landed the station job back in the early 1990s, the idea was that it would be buried beneath a gargantuan docklands-style redevelopment.
		Although it began life in a different world, this palatial, ultramarine blue subterranean space with its leaning mosaic columns and dramatically suspended concourse is the perfect introduction to the architectural sequence that follows.

		The most surprising aspect of the Marin Alsop controversy surrounding her appointment as music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is how surprised people are about it.
		Alsop will do more than raise the standard of the orchestra; she will raise its profile and help raise funds, too, for an orchestra that is carrying a heavy deficit of about $10 million.
		She will champion new music at the same time she crafts musical interpretations of the canon.
