“Highly skilled.” “Vivacious.” “Versatile.” “Enthusiastic.”
These are just a few of the words used to describe Dr. Annie Savage’s guest clinician and conducting work. Whether working in a festival, classroom, or conference, Annie draws on 24 years of successful orchestra directorship to tailor experiences that leave string educators and students alike reflecting with joy and with the surprise of having come away with so much learning and seemingly no anxiety. Annie strives to go beyond mastery of the subject matter, offering each participant both a personalized experience and a true sense of belonging.
