Day 442 and 443: Conductors

Over the summer, I had the great privilege of working with three incredible conductors. I will only mention two now because I'm saving the third for a separate post for reasons to be discovered. These two conductors were Karen Keating and Matthew J. Pool. The former was the musical director for The Addams Family and The Music Man. Matthew was the musical director for The Wiz and assistant musical director for everything else. They both have completely different styles, but they can get the music to sound great and just the way they want it to be interpreted. Watching them give notes to an orchestra is just incredible because of their attention to detail. Matthew was a masters student and has now graduated but I'm sure I'll work with him again someday. I'll work with KK a lot while I'm at SU and I can't wait to continue learning.
