Abstract
This study is aimed to explore the issue in the professional symphony orchestra, with regards to the leadership of the guest conductor. Their ability to successfully direct as many as 80 to 100 talented musicians to perform in harmony as one unit is frequently attributed to the conductor. There lacks research and a study of the short-term relationship between the guest conductor and his newly acquainted musicians. This paper is aimed at this rarely covered topic with focus on the following three aspects: 1) Their short working hours, 2) The lack of a long-term relationship, and 3) His ability to lead a group of individual-minded professionals. These assumptions are examined both by reference to the literature and through interviews with 3 conductors, 5 musicians, and 2 amateur players took part in open interviews. The results show that guest conductor’s leading process of a symphony orchestra setting has 3 distinct phases: the encounter phase, the rehearsal phase, and the performance phase. The guest conductor has to utilize a different set of strategies to accomplish each of the three phases. This paper not only covers the research of the guest conductor, it also provides a distinctive concept of orchestra management with respect to future of research and development.
