In This Episode

On this episode of The Ric And Dan Show, the boys bring in Lucas Richman, Grammy award-winning music director and conductor for the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and talk about selflessness, ego, leadership, and a blue corduroy suit.

Lucas has been given gifts by many influential people: the three talk about the gifts Gavin MacLeod gave him, one of them being his baton. Lucas talks about the strange nature of conducting, and how it is not a performance: it nurtures a performance. There are two big questions Lucas asks when someone wants to study conducting with him, and Ric and Dan both agree they are doozies. It’s not about technique or training at all. But, when did Lucas know he wanted to be a conductor? He talks about how he took over a rehearsal, his debut at 16 years old, and a long story. A long story that won him a Grammy.
