CEOs IN FRONT OF THE ORCHESTRA – Linder Auditorium
Admission: FREE
The Johannesburg Festival Orchestra does several training sessions every year, where they show how an orchestra is like a business.
Now we are putting CEOs in front of the orchestra to CONDUCT it themselves and experience what it is like to work with a group of musicians, and how to mould them into a functional team. It needs constant care and a steady hand to conduct an orchestra and we are looking forward to some interesting experiences with leading figures from the business world.
