"Collaborative ... Engaging ... Audience - ingratiating ..." - Baltimore Sun
As Music Director/Conductor of the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic Association (Alexandria VA), the Naptown Philharmonic Orchestra (Annapolis MD), the AACC Symphony Orchestra at Anne Arundel Community College (Arnold MD) and a frequent guest conductor on the national and international scene, Binneweg repeatedly captures audiences with her enthusiasm and passion for music. Her orchestras’ shared focus and energy makes orchestral music sound new, fresh, and exciting. Her programs and performances are alluring, engaging and attract audiences of all ages, particularly making classical music more appealing to younger generations.
Over the course of her career, Binneweg has performed in some of the nation’s most reputable concert venues including the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall (Washington, DC), the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall (Baltimore MD) and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles CA). Her international conducting experiences include tours to Austria and Spain and guest appearances with the Chernihiv Philharmonic (Ukraine), Lviv Virtuosi (Ukraine) and the Minsk Conservatory Orchestra (Belarus).
A committed music educator, Binneweg’s youth orchestra experience includes appointments with the Houston Youth Symphony (Houston TX) and the San Luis Obispo Youth Symphony (San Luis Obispo CA). In addition to her guest conducting appearances with colleges and universities throughout the United States, she has served as guest conductor for prestigious All-State festivals such as Maryland and Vermont in recent seasons. She is in frequent demand as an orchestra clinician and adjudicator throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and served on the national executive board of directors for the College Orchestra Directors Association (CODA) from 2014-2018.
She has worked with conducting mentors such as Leonard Slatkin, Daniel Barenboim, Robert Spano, James Paul, Michael Morgan, Duaine Wolfe, Nurhan Arman and David Effron through various engagements sponsored by the League of American Orchestras, the Conductors Institute of New York and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Most recently, Binneweg was elected to the board of directors of the International Conductors Guild (2021) where she advocates for women conductors in the field.
