Conductors’ Collective was founded out of a desire to thoughtfully contribute to the global community of musicians in a time of isolation and distance - concepts that are the antithesis to the spirit of music making.  Created by conductors Kensho Watanabe and Lina Gonzalez-Granados, the Conductors’ Collective fosters an environment of collective mentorship and shares leadership principles that are accessible and applicable for all.  

 

Through webinars and other forms of virtual discussions, Conductors' Collective was the first of many initiatives that sought a way for our community to feel more connected, not only in the time of COVID-19, but also when we start our post-pandemic lives.  We envision this community thriving and continuing to share our collective knowledge in order to establish a new paradigm for organizational leadership rooted in empathy.
