maestri
Baton-wielding experts
Maestri is the Italian plural of maestro, used in English to refer to multiple master musicians, conductors, or composers.
While English speakers often default to "maestros," maestri appears in more formal or classical music contexts where Italian conventions are preserved.
The festival brought together several renowned maestri from across Europe.
