Faculty
Three seasoned professional conductors with over a century of experience between them, Robert Gutter, Ovidiu
Balan, and Charles Gambetta, will mentor participants throughout the Advanced Academy.
Maestri Gutter and Balan have worked together at the Institute from 2003 to 2008, and Maestro Gambetta joined
the Institute faculty in 2007. Their teaching styles are surprisingly complementary, and they share an approach
to conductor training that grants students the maximum practical time in front of the orchestra while offering
guidance and support when needed. Instruction focuses on building a flexible, expressive technique and developing
the professional skills that will enable participants to better convey their artistic interpretations.
