without doubt, the most inspirational musician that I have ever met.

Matthew Taylor on Leonard Bernstein

To coincide with our community opera production of Candide this Autumn, composer and conductor Matthew Taylor will talk about his experiences of working with Leonard Bernstein.

Matthew was selected to go on Bernstein’s Conducting Class at the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival in 1987 and was one of four chosen by him to work with the orchestra during the Summer School. They remained in contact until Bernstein’s death three years later and Matthew treasures many memories which he will be sharing during this event.

There will be a Q&A after the talk with plenty of opportunity for Matthew to answer questions from the audience.
