The document discusses the importance of trust between conductors and orchestras in musical performances. It notes that historically, conductors dictated performances through coercion rather than trust, but that modern conducting is built on mutual respect and trust between the conductor and orchestra. It warns that a lack of trust can lead conductors to overcompensate with exaggerated gestures that confuse rather than guide the orchestra. The document also discusses how music in South Africa is not bound by formal notation but instead relies on performers trusting their ears, and how trust is essential for music making and allows music to thrive.
