‘You will be invited to go on a personal and collective journey, as if you were taking on the role of a conductor. This idea is inspired by our mission: Shaping Future Leaders through Music. Each member, irrespective of age or level of experience will be given the opportunity to explore the musical, psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual challenges that face a conductor. It is a journey into the unknown at a time when the world is living each day in the unknown and it will require transformational thinking at every turn.’
