maestro
Baton-wielding virtuoso
A maestro is a master musician, especially a conductor or composer of classical music: The maestro raised his baton.
The Italian word for master has been borrowed into English for distinguished artists generally, often with a hint of playful reverence: He's the maestro of horror films.
The plural is maestros or maestri.
