In addition, Maestro Slatkin will give a pre-concert talk in Orchestra Hall at 7:00 p.m. to offer insights into the music and the role of the conductor. He will be joined by conductors Earl Lee and Kyle Ritenauer, both of whom have earned Master of Music degrees from the Manhattan School of Music and were chosen by Maestro Slatkin as the inaugural Conducting Fellows of the Manhattan School of Music/Detroit Symphony Orchestra Conductors’ Project, a “podium partnership” encompassing a two-week, two-city masterclass in conducting.
