“From the Conductor’s Perspective”

Date: March 17, 2024.

Time:?

Location:?

 

The great soloists of classical music have the unique quality of creating an extraordinary connection not only with the orchestra but also with the audience. The conductor serves as the main liaison between the orchestra and the soloist so that the magic happens on the stage. This Masterclass will be focused on understanding the conductor's perspective, and what is expected from the soloist in the preparation before and during rehearsals with the orchestra as well as the final grand performance. Maestro Giancarlo Castro D'Addona, composer and orchestra conductor, will talk with our Young Artists about the study of the score, ensemble synchronization, and the perfect sound balance between the orchestra and the soloist, achieving a high-quality and memorable performance.
