Each month on the YourClassical Favorites stream, we host a vote and a countdown of your musical favorites.
Earlier in March, we asked you to tell us who your favorite conductors are. We've tallied the results, and on Monday, March 20, starting at 10 a.m. Central Time on our Favorites stream, we'll count down the top 20 favorite conductors — as voted by you. (UPDATE: Jump to final results summary)
Follow the results on Twitter — look for the #top20conductors hashtag.
