PT21: Diane Wittry on Gesture and Programming

76 min • 28 maj 2018

This is an interview that we’ve been looking forward to since before the podcast launched, and we were honored last week for the chance to finally talk shop with Diane Wittry, the author of two essential books for both young conductors and Music Directors: Beyond the Baton and Baton basics. This week we talk about how to build a vocabulary of gestures, why you need to consider every opportunity, and the importance of creative programming for your audiences.

We discuss:

A conductor’s two career paths

Baton Basics: Communicating Music through Gesture

Why you should consider every opportunity

Four points of advice for all students/young conductors
