Driving You Mad, Driving You Crazy

Anyone can be a conductor. Right? Maybe Not!

Arts, Community, Music

Andrew Wailes, Artistic Director & Chief Conductor at Royal Melbourne Philharmonic, chats with David and Sue about the physical and mental effort involved in conducting. It’s much more than waving your arms about! Revelations include conducting with chopsticks and embarrassing moments dropping the baton. Oops!!
Andrew also talks about the planning involved in putting a programme together. Who sends hate mail when a favourite Christmas carol isn’t sung? Really!!??   Where has the goodwill gone??
Hundreds of singers and musicians spend many, many hours rehearsing so that the rest of us can celebrate the Christmas season with traditional (and not so traditional, not so well known) music and song.
Uplift your heart and spirit with Handel’s Messiah (get in quick, tomorrow 13 Dec.) and Carols in the Cathedral (18 & 19 Dec.)
