Upbeat with Alasdair: What Does a Conductor Do, Anyway? In-Person
People have been using batons to “conduct” since the end of the 7th century, and the practice has become increasingly prevalent since. But why? As modern instruments developed, resulting in larger ensembles, helping musicians play together became more difficult. Conductors do that, but much more. They also shape phrases and interpret the composer’s intent. Find out how it all works, when Music Director Alasdair Neale hosts the next installment of his popular Upbeat with Alasdair speaking series, in-person at the Community Library and livestreamed on the Festival website, YouTube channel, and on the Community Library’s Vimeo page.
