Santtu-Mathias Rouvali is Chief Conductor at the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in Sweden – and he’s only 30! He trained with Gustavo Dudamel and has already made a name for himself around the world. So we asked him to talk us through his trade.
“This baton is meant to be the continuation of your hand. There’s no rule what the hand should do actually. The important thing is that you get yourself understood by the musicians.”
Santtu-Mathias conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra throughout the year and most of the orchestra’s concerts are streamed live on GSO Play, available on the GSO website or their app.
