YOSA Music Director Troy Peters will explore how the traditions and practice of orchestral conducting can offer insights to help all of us lead and collaborate more effectively. Working with a small orchestra of live musicians, Peters will demonstrate what a conductor does on the podium, with the goal of unleashing the maximum potential of each musician on stage.
Troy Peters has been Music Director of YOSA (Youth Orchestras of San Antonio) since 2009. Sobre Sound named his “OK Computer Live” project, in which a dozen local bands covered Radiohead’s landmark album backed by YOSA at the Tobin Center, as San Antonio’s top moment in music for 2015.
He has guest conducted many orchestras, including the Oregon Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, and Vermont Symphony Orchestra. He was previously Music Director of the Vermont Youth Orchestra and Montpelier Chamber Orchestra, and conducted college orchestras at Texas State University and Middlebury College.
