Cascade Conducting 2019: Master Class Performances

The Cascade Conducting Master Class presents its participants in an evening where they will showcase their skills at the conclusion of a week of studies with Sarah Ioannides and musicians from Symphony Tacoma.

Cascade Conducting was conceived by Paula Nava Madrigal and Teo Benson in 2017 and is officially a project of the Ballard Civic Orchestra.

Nava Madrigal is the conductor and music director of the Ballard Civic Orchestra and a continuing student of conducting, attending conducting workshops around the world. Teo Benson is the concertmaster of the Ballard Civic Orchestra and a violinist in Symphony Tacoma where Sarah Ioannides is music director. Inspired by her conducting and her passion for music, Cascade Conducting was truly formed upon receipt of the knowledge that Ioannides was enthusiastic about the prospect of teaching the master class. Ioannides is considered one of the top conductors in the Pacific Northwest and one of the top 20 female conductors worldwide.

Together, Sarah Ioannides, Nava Madrigal, and Teo Benson crafted a unique mission for Cascade Conducting: seeking to find balance between the demands of the business and the preservation of one’s individual musicianship as a necessity to achieve excellence.
