Baton or no baton? How do you conduct?

This is an excerpt from our event “Composer to Conductor” with Conrad Pope, Angel Velez, and Emilie Berntein where we covered some fundamentals of conducting, gave an intro to conducting live-to-picture, discussed the relationship of composer to conductor, and went over why body awareness and movement matters to composers and conductors.

If you are an Orchestral or Philharmonic member of ASA, you can find this full event video by going to the video library and to INFOrums on our platform.
