Violinist Ron Blessinger, who is a member of the Oregon Symphony as well as Artistic Director of the Third Angle New Music Ensemble, reports in a blog entry today about his experience at the Rose City Conducting Workshop last week. It’s an interesting and entertaining read, and it shows that, despite looking simple to those of us on the other end of the stick, conducting is actually pretty difficult!

i nearly forgot to salute ron blessinger for having good “conductor hair.” whether his stick technique is good or not is secondary, as we all know!
