Crescendo Club: What Does a Conductor Do Anyway?

Albany Symphony Crescendo Club What Does A Conductor Do Anyway? Come to the Music Hub at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Saturday, November 7, after our 3:00pm performance or before our 7:30pm performance to hear Albany Symphony violinist Paula Lynne Oakes and conductor Filippo Ciabatti bust various myths about what conductors actually do or don't do. You will take part in an interactive presentation as we identify common misconceptions and reveal the realities, including a few illuminating demonstrations. Have you ever wondered what those mysterious baton movements indicate beyond keeping time and giving cues? And why is a conductor necessary if it doesn't appear as though the musicians are even watching them? Please join us for an enlightening dialogue and get answers to your burning questions, while also meeting some of the Albany Symphony musicians up close and personal. Your newfound knowledge will enrich your experience at future symphony orchestra concerts and delight us as we get to know you, our highly insightful audience, a little bit better.
