Orchestras are usually led by a conductor who directs the performance with movements of the hands and arms, often made easier for the musicians to see by use of a conductor’s baton. The leader of the first violin section – commonly called the concertmaster – also plays an important role in leading the musicians.

: a master usually in an art especially : an eminent composer, conductor, or teacher of music.

Maestro (/ˈmaɪstroʊ/; from the Italian maestro [maˈestro; maˈɛstro], meaning “master” or “teacher”) is an honorific title of respect (plural: maestri, feminine: maestra).

The Maestro is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Depicted as a version of the Hulk from an alternate future (designated by Marvel Comics as Earth-9200), the Maestro possesses Bruce Banner’s intelligence and the Hulk’s more malevolent personality traits.

They usually cue important solos, to make sure the audience connects that beautiful solo playing with the conductor rather than the musician. They might cue someone if they have had 100 bars tacit. But in general they only cue important solos.

“Maestro” is an unofficial term, the Italian word meaning “master”, which could be used for pretty much any leading musician (usually used only in the context of Classical music). A conductor is one who conducts the orchestra or choir.

Because most of the orchestras in the world can play together without any conductor. You are there to help them play better musically, and help them make a sound that is more coherent, that makes more sense from the composer’s point of view.”

Originally Answered: Do musicians in an orchestra really look at the conductor? Yes. They don’t have to stare at him all the time, like some choral conductors insist on, but they can see the gestures via peripheral vision, and they get indications of tempo, dynamic, phrasing, and other things when needed.

As the representative of the orchestra, the concertmaster will usually shake hands with the conductor at the beginning or end of a concert as a sign of mutual respect and appreciation.

Beat and tempo At the beginning of a piece of music, the conductor raises his hands (or hand if he only uses a single hand) to indicate that the piece is about to begin. This is a signal for the orchestra members to ready their instruments to be played or for the choristers to be ready and watching.

Traditionally in a symphony, two musicians share a stand and the 2nd pauses to turn the page when necessary. In these modern times more musicians are using tablets for sheet music with Bluetooth pedals to turn the page.

Page-turners locally earn $50-$100 per job, depending on whether a rehearsal is required and the complexity of the program.

Normally the one on the left side of the stand turns the pages (for the audience the right). Depending on the way you sit in front of the audience, the one on the inside has to turn the pages. The one who is most visible or hearable for the audience, shouldn’t turn the pages.

A page-turner is a person employed to turn sheet music pages for a soloist or accompanist, often a pianist, usually during a performance. A page-turner needs to be able to understand the musician’s signals and follow the music to know when to turn the page, and to do so quickly and unobtrusively.
