Bobby McFerrin is a “deeply talented” artist. But can he conduct? Why not – This week he led the Baltimore Symphony in a performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. “In short, McFerrin is learning to conduct on the job. With curiosity and perseverance and many years of experience, he might well develop into an interesting conductor. Right now he’s granted access to major orchestras not for his musical insights but because he fills the seats.” – Washington Post
