Conductor Gemma New leads the orchestra with a focus on creating a collective musical experience. She reflects on the unique challenge conductors face in connecting with each musician while remaining sensitive to the ensemble as a whole. Though the orchestra’s dynamic can shift, New thrives on the excitement and the sense of risk that comes with live performance.
