Music Director Alasdair Neale will provide an insider\u2019s perspective on the role a conductor plays in leading the orchestra, this January 5, in the return of his popular speaking series at the Community Library.<\/em><\/p>\n

People have been using batons to \u201cconduct\u201d since the end of the 7th<\/sup> century, and the practice has become increasingly prevalent since. But why? As modern instruments developed, resulting in larger ensembles, helping musicians play together became more difficult. Conductors do that, but much more.\u00a0They also shape phrases and interpret the composer\u2019s intent.\u00a0Find out how it all works, when Music Director Alasdair Neale hosts the next installment of his popular Upbeat with Alasdair speaking series, Jan. 5 at 6:30 p.m. (Mountain Time), in person at the Community Library and livestreamed on the Festival\u2019s website and YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

The Upbeat with Alasdair series provides a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective on music and upcoming Festival performances. It also offers the community a chance to get to know more about Alasdair Neale, the Festival Orchestra, and guest artists, and includes the opportunity to ask Maestro Neale questions. Recent presentations have examined themes such as how classical music illustrates the human condition, complete with musical and visual examples, and previews of major works such as Mahler\u2019s Symphony No. 2.<\/p>\n

Music Director Alasdair Neale said:<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has a pretty good idea of the basics of what a conductor does, but I thought it would be fun to go under the hood and take a closer look at all the nuts and bolts. I hope you\u2019ll join me!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Viewers can enjoy the talk in person at the Community Library lecture hall (415 Spruce Ave, Ketchum) or broadcast live on the Festival website (svmusicfestival.org<\/a>) and YouTube channel (youtube.com\/c\/SunValleyMusicFestival<\/a>).
