Description

A conductor is one of classical music's most recognisable but misunderstood figures, attracting so many questions:


'Surely orchestras can play perfectly well without you? '


'Do you really make any difference to the performance?'


'Are the musicians even watching you?'


The Silent Musician is not a manual for conductors, nor a history of conducting. It is for all who wonder what conductors actually do, and why they matter.
