"Conductors, being the only member of the orchestra who does not produce a sound, can only know if their gestures are meaningful and evoke the sounds they desire from the ensemble when they are actually in front of the group. Masterclasses such as this one give conductors the opportunity to hone their verbal and non-verbal communication skills and learn from each other in a supportive, collegial atmosphere."
