£10.99In good hands
Writing with refreshing passion, and with her own personal story at its heart, Alice Farnham sets out to explore what it means to be a conductor in modern times.

This is not a guide on how to conduct: for music lovers and music makers, not least aspiring conductors, it’s a frank, fascinating portrait of what conducting really entails today. Beyond that, it’s a book about leadership, full of timely sentiment on who gets to lead, and what it takes to unite and inspire people.
