Music Director vs. Conductor

I find it interesting how Sam Coates is their music director, but doesn't conduct the Libera concerts. I assume it's because he's the only one who really knows how to operate the sound equipment during a concert. This is quite unusual for a boys choir, although I suppose Libera is unusual in other ways. I wonder if this is a good idea in the long run, especially with the different conductors they've had in recent concerts.

Sam was the conductor for the 2019 Philippines tour. Can't remember who was on the sound desk.

It was Robin Hawkins

Reference on Libera Passion

He is credited on many other concerts as well.

Well, I hope they are able to work out a long-term solution soon. It's important for the boys to have stability in terms of who's directing/leading them.
