During her visit, Ting attended conducting classes taught by the TMC head of the conducting program, Stefan Asbury, and observed BSO rehearsals and other masterclasses. The opportunity to learn from world-famous musicians, as well as the chance to have conducting lessons in the same room where Bernstein used to teach himself, was not an opportunity Ting will ever forget. “Tanglewood was truly amazing and I was very honored to be selected as a member of the conducting seminar. The opportunity to observe great musicians including Andris Nelsons, Yo-Yo Ma, and John Williams work together was life-changing, and I am excited to share what I have learned this summer with all my ensemble musicians," says Ting.
