About the Book

Conductors face a multitude of issues as they begin to get a foothold in the professional world. Once they have attained a position, there are obstacles both on and off the podium to holding that position as well as advancing in the profession. As the founding conductor of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, frequent pops guest conductor, and pedagogue, Carl Topilow is in a unique position to help conductors navigate their careers. The Orchestral Conductor’s Career Handbook takes readers through the step-by-step process of establishing a career in orchestral conducting and provides practical tips for conductors of any orchestra type, including community orchestras, pops orchestras, youth orchestras, ballets, collegiate orchestras, professional orchestras, opera, and beyond. Filled with personal stories from Topilow’s career, the book provides insights on applying for conducting programs, auditioning, applying for positions, connecting with audiences, developing interpersonal relations within the orchestra family, starting your own orchestra, interacting with donors, and beyond. It also presents fresh ideas for programming, rehearsing, and approaching standard repertoire pieces.
