Rest in peace, Mr. and Mrs. Alsop, and deepest sympathy to daughter Marin Alsop and the rest of their family.

Marin Alsop said in an interview this summer, when she became the first woman to close the BBC Proms, that her parents encouraged her to become a conductor as soon as she expressed interest in it, and her father especially told her to not limit her expectations because she was female.
