choir conductor

Leads the singers

A choir conductor is a person who leads a choir, directing singers through tempo, dynamics, and expression using hand gestures and a baton.

The role combines musical interpretation with rehearsal leadership—shaping how a piece sounds and keeping voices unified in performance.

The choir conductor raised her hands for silence before the opening note.
