« Dylan Corlay won because he made us forget it was a contest. He was having a good time, playing music with others, in this case the orchestra players. And it was catchy… »

« According to me, playing an instrument is the way to learn and understand the work of a conductor: what not to do, what musicians like, how to address each sections… The conductor school is the orchestra itself ! »

La Lettre du musicien
« What musicians want –and the reason it runs- is that the conductor acts sincerely. If you don’t give yourself to the musicians, they won’t give themselves to the audience. »

Tours & moi
« When I’m in front of an orchestra, I feel good, I feel myself because that’s what I want to do with my life. I’m not playing a role, I’m not anxious and I think I manage to create a safe environment. »
Dylan Corlay
La Nouvelle République
« Above all, what I’m interested in by working with an orchestra, is the feedback in the moment: responding to what’s happening, staying spontaneous and reactive to what the orchestra offers, regardless of the amount of work ahead. »
