Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Linked to our concert on 3 May, we look at the art of performing without a conductor, as the OAE often does.

Have we always had conductors? Do we need them? What challenges does not having one pose for an orchestra? Does artistic vision always have to come from a single person? We’ll explore these questions, and more, in this informal event where speakers will include OAE players and Leslie Anne Lewis from Royal Holloway, University of London.

 

Insight Club events last two hours with a short break, and tickets include tea or coffee and a pastry.
