About this Performance

What does a conductor really do? In this concert, we will explore the history of the conductor’s role—how it began and how it’s evolved over time. Through musical examples from as early as the 1600s to as recent as the 21st century, we’ll see how conductors have guided everything from precision to expression. Join Gen-Z maestro José Ángel Salazar Marín for an exciting “Eras Tour” of the conductor, as he demonstrates its role as a storyteller, collaborator, and leader in bringing music to life.
