Schubert 5 with @londonsymphonyorchestra ☆
As rewarding as it gets for a first competition experience—I’ve dreamed of participating in @dfconducting ever since I started conducting. Grateful to the LSO musicians for their incredible artistry and tenacity (24 hours of playing in just 3 days!), and to the jury for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

@artemisapollo
Dedicated to sharing the sense of awe latent within music and committed to engaging listeners with
its contemporary relevance, Brooklyn-based conductor Alison Norris currently serves as the
Conducting Fellow for the Canton Symphony—a position they won in 2024 and that has since been
renewed and expanded for the 2025/26 season.
Internationally, Norris has appeared as a finalist in the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition with
the London Symphony Orchestra, been invited as a guest conductor with the China International
Philharmonic Orchestra in Beijing, and conducted the Orchestre Métropolitain as a finalist with
Yannick Nézet-Séguin in Domaine Forget de Charlevoix. Recent festival engagements include
Tanglewood’s Conducting Seminar, where they were invited to premiere a new work by Maya Miro
Johnson, and the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music as a Conducting Associate.
Always seeking to foster musical fascination alongside human compassion, in 2024 Norris
organized a multidisciplinary benefit concert project entitled “Divinity and the Cosmos: A
Genderqueer Exploration of Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie." They collaborated with five other
transgender artists to create original films examining each movement of Messiaen’s preeminent
work through a genderqueer lens: helping audiences navigate unfamiliar dissonances with the
similarly enigmatic nature of trans joy.
Norris’s conducting mentors include George Manahan, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Jim Ross, Cristian
Măcelaru, and Oriol Sans. Alison holds a Professional Studies diploma from the Manhattan School of
Music, a Masters of Music from UW-Madison, and a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering
from Valparaiso University.

What an honor to conduct the @cantonsymphony and @canton_ballet ’s first-ever collaboration on Prokofiev’s 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘧, featuring spellbinding narration from the wonderful @bernardsven .
Thousands of children joined us for this magical production, along with hundreds more audience members from our weekend public performance, making this one of the Canton Symphony’s most successful Young People’s Concert series (just shy of 4,000 tickets in total!!). Special thanks and congratulations to our education director @caroline_eberhard and the ballet’s executive artistic director @jcatazaro for taking the lead on this unimaginably fun and incredibly successful project.

My @cabrillofestival scrapbook 🌈
Had the pleasure of working with the amazing @cristian.macelaru and Octavio Mas-Arocas, as well as reconnecting with @dcandillari —three inspiring conductors and gracious new music mentors. Grateful also to learn from @stacygarrop , @missymazzoli , John Corigliano, and @markadamomusic , who all shared valuable insight and resources on successful contemporary music collaborations.
Tried to match the brilliant, colorful excellence of the festival with a little visual fun of my own ☆
