One of my favourite moments on this Residency has to be when TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian invites a student from the 1,000 student hall to come up and conduct the Toronto Symphony Orchestra during a Student Concert.
TSO Student concerts are hour long orchestral performances, designed for young listeners. The audience in this morning’s concert at White Pines Secondary in Sault Ste Marie included students from as far away as Wawa and Elliot Lake. I heard from some teachers that students had been travelling since 6am to experience a TSO concert.
One Wawa student’s trip was made especially memorable when TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian invited Tamara to conduct the TSO in Offenbach’s “Can Can”. Peter gave the audience and Tamara a quick lesson in conducting and then she was off!
The orchestra followed her baton closely and changed tempo along with Tamara’s direction – here’s a clip of her grand finale (and TSO debut!)
