“The most important things I say in my life may well be whispered, “said Carl St. Clair, Musical Director of the Pacific Symphony when he spoke at TEDxOrangeCoast. St. Clair, working with a select group of violinists from the Pacific Symphony, demonstrated how as a conductor, by whispering honest feedback and direction encourages musicians to create exceptional music that mirrors their souls. He demonstrated what he referred to as “outside in conducting” in which he helps musicians journey deep into themselves to find and experience a level of performance that is exceptional and awe-inspiring.  By working in whispers, using quiet communication and exchange, St. Clair inspires great musical innovation that has been acclaimed around the globe. “To the musician, ears are the mirror to the soul.”
