Does anyone really know what a conductor is doing when he waves his hands around at the orchestra? Darko conducts the TEDxUMontana audience and explains what great conducting is all about.

Darko Butorac is establishing himself as one of the world’s most exciting young conductors. He currently serves as the Music Director of both the Tallahassee and Missoula Symphony Orchestras in the United States, and is the Principal Conductor of the Fidenza Opera Festival in Italy. Recent notable concerts include collaborations with philharmonic orchestras in Germany, Poland and Estonia, and a debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Slovenian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
