On Friday night the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra opened it’s 2007 season at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. This night also welcomed Maestra Marin Alsop, the first woman to head a major American symphony.

For this night, I was contracted to photograph the “after-party” consisting of candids and some posed shots for the BSO of the cast and BSO donors. To help light the room and subjects, I utilized two off-camera strobes, as well as an on-camera flash for fill light.

There were approximately 300 in attendance, and the mood of the night was extremely up-beat. I’m sure the champange and food helped, but in general I think everyone was extremely pleased with the nights performance.
