The Conductor
Geneviève Leclair, Guest Conductor
Geneviève Leclair is an Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music who holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Orchestral Conducting from Boston University. Leclair also received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in flute performance at Université de Montréal.
