OM DENNE EPISODE
What does a conductor actually do — and what can their extraordinary blend of intellect, intuition, and management teach the rest of us?
Dr. Hannah Baxter, conducting academic and founder of Notes from the Podium journal, pulls back the curtain on one of music's most misunderstood roles.
From three years of score preparation to the split second a conductor walks onto the podium (and the orchestra decides how the whole week will go), Hannah reveals the depth of craft involved — part human mixing desk, part project manager, part psychologist.
We also explore how Hannah's own PhD research pivoted from sign language to dance, a masterclass in following the evidence wherever it leads.
