I know very little about conducting (except that one can use only one's eyes and facial gestures, at least if one is Leonard Bernstein, or if one is with the Vienna Philharmonic) but just yesterday was at the 'Conductors Showcase' recital ('new' or student conductors participating in a conducting master class, part of OBF [http://goo.gl/QlJfMm]) at one point of which Dr Maclary remarked about how great the singers in the University's chamber choir are &c &c, and how helpful they had been in providing feedback to the six fledgling conductors. I attended more to hear the Monteverdi madrigals and Pablo Casals' <i>O vos omnes</i> than expecting great insights into the art of conducting but it was quite informative really, as well as providing the opportunity to listen to some beautiful music.Marc in Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331547981498637474noreply@blogger.com
