#Orchestra of Opera Royal Wallonie-Liège is excellent! Bravo and thank you! They worked tirelessly with great professionalism even when doing an overture for the 5th time in a day (5 overtures were distributed among 24 #conductor candidates) #conductorcompetition @operaliege

Reflections after 1st day of #conductingcompetition : Some interesting, talented young conductors who can show a lot in 11 min. When stopping and rehearsing, that's where it shows what they are thinking, are they prepared enough, can they verbalize efficiently and effectively?
