OPENING A
DIALOGUE
Like any artist, Valerio is passionate about
his work.
Hold a conversation with him, and that
passion is immediately evident. Conducting an
elite-level orchestra is no easy task, requiring
years of work, and yet, Valerio continually rises
to the occasion every month to put on shows at
The Sharon.
He compares his work ethic to opening a
dialogue between a boss and an employee.
" When you work together, you share ideas, "
he said. " There is no one person who says,
'This is the way.' Just like in the old days when
I worked as a music minister for the Church
on the Square, I never remember being told by
somebody, 'You need to do this.' It was always a
proposal from my boss, 'Can we do this?' "
To solve a problem or implement a new
initiative, Valerio says he collaborated with his
superiors to find a solution they both liked.
" We worked together to apply the idea for
something that can be a mutual benefit from the
business point of view and from the employee's
point of view, " he explained. " This is a beautiful
thing, because when you have a leader who can
lead you as a team and open a dialogue, things
will never go bad. "
This strategy applies to both how Valerio
works with individual members of his orchestra,
as well as staff at The Sharon - opening a
dialogue and overcoming obstacles together.
Because
of
this
attitude, Valerio says
musicians enjoy working with him on a repeat
basis - including many who have been with
him for years.
" I have musicians with me for several years
who are very loyal and very dedicated, " Valerio
said. " This creates a teamwork. The conductor
is part of the team - not as someone who is
a despot or dictator. Maybe in the old days,
but today, you cannot do this. The dialogue is
the best way to fix a problem. I will talk to my
musicians and before we start to play, I say I
want this, this, this and this. "
