Music lovers and the musically curious alike are invited to a fun-filled multimedia talk, “Who Needs a Conductor,” on March 12 at 3 p.m. at St. Andrews Anglican Church, San Lucas 19 in Riberas del Pilar.
This engaging presentation, given by Michael Reason, pulls back the curtain on one of classical music’s most fascinating figures: the orchestra conductor.
What does a conductor actually do, and why are they needed at all? Through lively visuals, audio examples and historical perspectives, this talk will explore how the role of the conductor evolved, what happens on the podium, and how conductors shape the sound, style and unity of an orchestra.
Blending education with entertainment, “Who Needs a Conductor” offers accessible insights for audiences of all backgrounds, from seasoned concert-goers to first-time listeners. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation of the dynamic relationship between conductor and orchestra — and a fresh way of listening to live music.
