After completing 28 years at the helm of the orchestra, Dr. Bowden will be retiring at the end of the 2024-25 season. In this presentation, Maestro Bowden debriefs the THSO’s November 2nd concert, Heroism & Hope, as he provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what it is like to be the Artistic Director and Conductor of a professional orchestra. While conducting the orchestra is the most notable part of the duties of the conductor, music-lovers are often shocked to learn that 95% of a conductor’s time is spent on non-musical, administrative activities. For orchestra fans, this is a must-attend presentation as Maestro Bowden pulls back the curtain on the life of a symphony conductor.
