On November 17, 2016, IPO Conductor Candidate Alastair Willis led a
Meet the Maestro clinic with Sandburg High School orchestra students.
"I love your preparation. I love your poise. I love your energy," he told the students. " Now I think it's about confidence." And the music played on...
So how much did the students' confidence grow by working with a world class conductor? We'd like Sandburg junior and orchestra member Maris Madderom to tell you:
"It was so eye opening. He was so down to earth
..
.(he) gave us feedback that we could understand and use right away," Madderom said of her recent
Meet the Maestro experience.
"(It was) really empowering...(it) made us feel really important and that
we really are the future!" she added.
