November 6

After completing 28 years at the helm of the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, Dr. David Bowden will be retiring at the end of the 2024-25 season. In this presentation, Maestro Bowden debriefs the THSO’s November 2 concert, Heroism & Hope, as he provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it is like to be the Artistic Director and Conductor of a professional orchestra. While conducting the orchestra is the most notable part of his duties, music-lovers are often shocked to learn that 95% of a conductor’s time is spent on non-musical administrative activities. For orchestra fans, this is a “must-attend” presentation as Maestro Bowden pulls back the curtain on the life of a symphony conductor.
