Perspectives on Conducting
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-29027-0 (ISBN)
The contributors draw on their experience and expertise as practising conductors and scholar-practitioners to explore both the core musical responsibilities and the additional administrative and social demands placed on today’s conductors. With topics including pathways to conducting careers, the creative role of the conductor in shaping new music, conducting mixed-ability ensembles, the experiences of women and queer conductors, and more, the perspectives collected here reflect the versatility required of the contemporary conductor, giving students and emerging professionals a forward-thinking view of the conductor’s role.
Róisín Blunnie is a choral conductor. She is Associate Professor of Music and Programme Chair of the MA in Choral Studies at Dublin City University, Ireland. Ciarán Crilly is Associate Professor of Orchestral Conducting and Artistic Director of the UCD Symphony Orchestra at University College Dublin, Ireland.
