::For an electrical conductor see [[Conductor (Electrical)]]

A '''conductor''' is a person who leads an [[orchestra]].  Originally the person responsible for keeping time in an orchestra was not an older instrumentalist, usually a [[percussion]]ist, who could no longer play his instrument at a high level.  As music got more complicated, conductors became responsible for more things.  Conductors usually direct the music in terms of dynamics and volume balance between instruments or between passages.
