Slatkin's Legacy: A Birthday Celebration
In this open rehearsal, three emerging conductors lead the SLSO in the culmination of a multi-day professional development event with Slatkin, a perpetual champion and mentor of emerging talent. Slatkin will provide feedback and insights into conducting an orchestra in real-time to the rising conducting talents who will each lead the orchestra in excerpts from standard orchestral repertoire by Claude Debussy, Johann Strauss, Jr., and Igor Stravinsky. The open rehearsal is free to the public. Music educators are especially encouraged to attend this insightful look into the art of leading an orchestra. The open rehearsal with the SLSO is the conclusion of a multi-day workshop with Slatkin and SLSO staff and musicians focusing on comprehensive training, mentorship, and learning.
