Description:

Renowned conductor Michael Adelson leads a conducting master class at New York University. He supervises guest conductor Chris Dickson as he leads the New York All-City Orchestra through a rehearsal of the Overture to Mozart’s The Magic Flute, emphasizing in this session once again the importance of nonverbal communication with your group, but also how to find your own way of conducting a well-known piece for which you have numerous previous interpretations to draw from (or contend with!), and what conductors and sheepdogs have in common.
