How is a world-class conductor born? Tomáš Hanus’s journey from his first gestures to Europe’s greatest stages
What milestones must an artist pass to stand at the helm of the world’s finest orchestras? The second episode of our podcast series with Tomáš Etzler takes us into the fascinating world of conducting. We are joined in the studio by one of the most respected Czech conductors of our time and a renowned expert on Janáček’s work, Tomáš Hanus.
Forget dry biographies. In this episode, Tomáš Hanus invites us into his “inner workshop” and speaks openly about:
-
Initial Sparks: What was his path to the conductor’s podium, and what awakened the desire in him not just to play music, but to interpret it through the entire orchestra?
-
Artistic Maturity: How has his approach evolved over the years, and what has he learned on the world’s most prestigious opera stages?
-
Seeking Depth: How does he perceive his role at the front of an orchestra, and how does he strive to convey the emotions that audiences seek in music?
Join us for this inspiring story of evolution, humility toward the craft, and the unyielding energy so typical of our festival.
