Now for the first time ever in Canada, Culture Days and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) are presenting Conduct Us, a free, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring that musical fantasy to life! On September 26th, as part of the official Culture Days 5th Anniversary national kick-off, members of the public of all ages will be offered a thrilling chance to step onstage, pick up a baton and chose from one of three scores. Then, they will each conduct the full orchestra for two minutes alongside Peter Oundjian, esteemed Conductor and TSO Music Director.

The conductors will be randomly chosen on the day of the event at Roy Thomson Hall. Conduct Us will take place from 12:00 to 1:45 pm, and the doors to the hall will open at 10:00 am. Those interested in entering for a chance to conduct are advised to arrive between 10:00 and 11:00 am to register for the draw. Registration will be ongoing to allow lunch-time crowds to join in the fun.
