00:15What does a conductor do?
00:18You know that everyone sitting on that stage behind you is,
00:22is the cream of the crop and so you better bring your A game.
00:25I want people to be healed by
00:27the music that they hear when they come to my concerts.

00:31I guess people probably thought I was crazy,
00:33but the music just touched me.

00:43Storgy has said yes to performing on the first
00:46orchestral drag show in all of Canada.

00:57Any British in here?
