DESCRIPTION:
To celebrate the launch of Colston Hall’s International Classical Season we made a video to shed some light on the role of the conductor. We asked classical experts Oliver Condy (Editor, BBC Music Magazine), and Sir Mark Elder (Music Director of the Hallé Orchestra) exactly why this figure who stands on a podium waving their arms is so important to the performance of live classical music.

If you like this video please let us know in the comments, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe for more.
