Firstly, I would analyze each of the pieces and identify challenging sections that may need extra practice. Then, I would structure the rehearsals methodically, focusing on individual parts, sections, and then the full orchestra. During rehearsals, I would make adjustments to tempo, dynamics, and emphasis on specific instruments. I would also maintain a strong rapport with each orchestra member, providing constructive feedback and ensuring that everyone is well-prepared. Lastly, for the performance itself, I would lead with confidence, conveying the musical vision and guiding the orchestra in creating an exceptional experience for the audience.
