The paper analyzes the role-making of an orchestral conductor. It is framed by the symbolic interactionist perspective and focuses on Ralph Turner’s role-making theory and the works of Alfred Schütz and Howard S. Becker and associates. The research project is based on grounded theory methodology. The applied techniques include semi-structured interviews, video-elicited interviews, observations of teaching conducting and opera rehearsals, video analysis, and secondary data analysis. The results reveal how the process of role-making is shaped during secondary socialization and indicate the social features of the role, such as high social prestige, awareness of the body, an exclusive social group, and teamwork. The role-making process is based on permanent interactions and negotiations with social actors: the composer and the musical score, the orchestra, soloists, ballet, and the audience. Additionally, it is influenced by cultural factors, such as the conductor’s gender, age, nationality and international experience, competencies, as well as the type of professional contract. At the same time, conductors need to actively maintain the image of determined and resolute individualists, as expected by the social actors they interact with.

The treatise deals with the beginnings of symphony music performance in Ostrava from the late 19th century (until the construction of the National Centre and the German Centre). After 1900, Ostrava was regularly visited by many eminent symphonic orchestras like the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra or the Viennese Tonkünstlerorchestr, many amateur orchestral societies (such as the Orchester-Verein für classische Musik, Mährisch-Ostrauer Symphonieorchester-Verein, Orchestral Association in Vítkovice). The greatest flourishing of symphonic music in Ostrava can be attributed to the chief conductor of the Moravian-Silesian National Theatre Jaroslav Vogel. Starting at the 1927/1928 season, he introduced (and until ultimately leaving Ostrava in 1948, conducted) regular subscription concerts of the opera orchestra, which was bolstered by members of other Ostrava-based orchestral bodies (particularly from the German opera and the Radiojournal orchestra – Moravian-Silesian Radio Orchestra founded in 1929). This orchestra, led by Jaroslav Gotthard, became the basis for the Ostrava Radio Orchestra, founded in the first half of the 1950s, which in turn gave birth to today’s Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra Ostrava.
