The opening of Johannes Brahms\u2019 Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 begins to build, the dramatic harmony of brass and string filling the brightly lit concert hall at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center with a stormy intensity. Conductor Dane Lam is standing center stage, eyes closed, cheeks slightly puffed, and brows furrowed. His hands cut through the air sharply, guiding the Hawai\u2018i Symphony Orchestra\u2019s 84 musicians through the celebrated German composer\u2019s maiden symphony.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Then, with one swift motion, the music comes to a sudden halt. Lam has paused the song to offer feedback shaped by his many hours of studying Brahms\u2019 work\u2014not just how it was written, but the composer\u2019s personal story and philosophy, too. \u201cGreat orchestras don\u2019t need a conductor to stay together,\u201d Lam says. \u201cThey need a conductor to steer the ship\u2014to give direction and inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lam brings more than 20 years of conducting experience to his role as the orchestra\u2019s dynamic music and artistic director. Growing up in a musical family in Australia\u2014his parents played piano and guitar and regularly attended the ballet\u2014music was always a part of Lam\u2019s life, but he didn\u2019t consider it as a career until high school, where he had access to a variety of musical instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
