978-1-5381-5458-8 (ISBN)
The Orchestral Conductor's Career Handbook takes readers through the step-by-step process of establishing a career in orchestral conducting and provides practical tips for conductors of any orchestra type, including community orchestras, pops orchestras, youth orchestras, ballets, collegiate orchestras, professional orchestras, opera, and beyond. Filled with personal stories from Topilow's career, the book provides insights on applying for conducting programs, auditioning, applying for positions, connecting with audiences, developing interpersonal relations within the orchestra family, starting your own orchestra, interacting with donors, and beyond. It also presents fresh ideas for programming, rehearsing, and approaching standard repertoire pieces.
Carl Topilow has enjoyed an eclectic career holding music director positions with several orchestras including the National Repertory Orchestra (NRO), Firelands Symphony Orchestra (FSO), and founding conductor of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra (CPO). He also served as conductor and director of the orchestral program and instructor for the master's program in orchestral conducting at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM). He was named faculty emeritus upon his retirement from that position.
