He'll also be presenting two conducting workshops while he's here, and copies of his new conducting book will be available. If you would like to join the Directors' Band, please contact Scott Burditt, so that music can be sent to you when it becomes available. Please spread the word, so that we can put together a great ensemble for Tony to work with.
