A conductor's job is to create joy and curiosity
Ethnomusicologist Philip Bohlman has argued that "music affords power to those who search for meaning". Such is the power and appeal of the Western classical tradition that symphony orchestras now play in regions far distant from the art form's Judeo-Christian heartlands. When in North Africa recently I attended a performance of the Mozart Requiem with Olivier Holt conducting l'Orchestre Philharmonique du Maroc (Philharmonic Orchestra of Morocco).

Adriana Mater at San Francisco Symphony
Nicholas Phan, Fleur Barron, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Axelle Fanyo, Christopher PurvesCast and Conductor of Adriana MaterJune 8, 2023Photo by Brittany Hosea-Small, courtesy of San Francisco SymphonySan Francisco Symphony performed a semi-staged version of Kaija Saariaho's second opera, Adriana Mater, the other week. It was quite an emotional occasion: Esa-Pekka Salonen had known Saariaho since they were in school together. Peter Sellars, who directed, had known her since the 1990s. My editor was sitting close enough that he could see that the cast and Salonen were in tears when Adriana was over. Nicholas Phan said on Twitter than the experience of learning and performing the opera had been life-changing.
