At our first meeting of the new season held September 2, 2015, Michael Newnham, musical director of the Peterborough Symphony Orchestra, gave an interesting presentation on the intricasies of conducting, and showed us various video examples of conductors at work, and how their styles differed. For instance, we learned that Leonard Bernstein didn’t use a baton, but instead relied on his various facial expressions to conduct the orchestra. We thank Michael for a truly enjoyable lecture.
