In this paper, we present a real-time continuous gesture recognition system for conducting a virtual concert. Our systems allow the user control over beat, by conducting four different beat-pattern gestures; tempo, by making faster or slower gestures; volume, by making larger or smaller gestures; and instrument emphasis, by directing the gestures towards specific areas of the orchestra on a large display. A recognition accuracy of up to 95% could be achieved for the conducting gestures (beat, tempo, and volume).
