Dave Gordon-Shute
As a professional orchestral and chamber musician for nearly thirty years, conducting felt like a natural next step. Directing and training groups of musicians towards a common, musical goal is a wonderful challenge and great fun. The end product is always exhilarating and satisfying.
"David Gordon-Shute has an unerring instinct for bringing out the best in student ensembles. His clarity of direction, rhythmic control and thorough attunement to issues of balance give players confidence and security, while his bold and imaginative repertoire choices let them work to their strengths. Collegial and always constructive, he is sensitive to different voices on both a musical and an interpersonal level, fostering a generous ethos of music-making that galvanizes participants and audiences alike."
