Have you always wondered what conductors do while leading an orchestra? So have we!

‘Podium’ is a musical stage performance and an examination of conductors. ‘Podium’ considers the genius myths, hero stories, boy-like wonder and musical masturbation.

‘Podium’ asks, dismantles and ponders. Does the music business require conductors to put on show performances? Can anyone, regardless of their gender and ethnic background, have a successful career as a conductor? Do the music and musicians serve the conductor or does the conductor serve the music and musicians?

What does music want? Does it even want?
