Conducting Masterclass: Mahler and Late-Romantic Repertoire

Led an intensive masterclass for Juilliard’s conducting students, focusing on gesture economy, score preparation, and interpretative approaches to Mahler’s symphonic writing. Students worked with the Juilliard Orchestra on excerpts from Mahler Symphonies Nos. 1, 5, and 9.

The masterclass emphasized the balance between analytical clarity and emotional expression, with particular attention to rehearsal efficiency and communicating interpretative intent through gesture alone.
