#22 - French Conductor Ludovic Morlot

The 22nd episode of "Dress Rehearsal" is dedicated to Seattle Symphony's Conductor Laureate, Ludovic Morlot. Trained as a violinist, Ludovic studied conducting at the Pierre Monteux School (USA) and at the Royal Academy of Music in London and then at the Royal College of Music as a recipient of the Norman del Mar Fellowship. Ludovic is Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington School of Music and a Visiting Artist at the Colburn School. During the hour we will be discussing with Ludovic the role of the conductor in shaping orchestras' future during the current times. We'll also talk about conducting technique and if gestures are the only means of communication between a conductor and the orchestra (and when masks are required). During the hour we'll also listen to a few recordings Ludovic has recently made during his tenure with the Seattle Symphony. Don't miss it!
