Faculty
Three seasoned professional conductors with over a century of experience between them, Robert Gutter, Ovidiu Balan, and Charles Gambetta mentor participants throughout the Institute. Maestri Gutter and Balan have worked together since 2003, and Maestro Gambetta joined the Institute faculty in 2007. Their teaching styles are complementary, and they share an approach to conductor training that grants students the maximum practical time in front of the orchestra while offering guidance and support when needed. Instruction focuses on building a flexible, expressive technique and developing the professional skills that will enable participants to better convey their artistic interpretations.
