The conductor's job is to get the orchestra to perform the music at hand to the best of their ability, and in accordance with a certain view of the music that he/she has. In performance they do this with gestures, indicating the desired tempi (speed), dynamics (volume), and phrasing. But before performances, they often make adjustments to the music, work with the orchestra to develop a unique sound, and relay their artistic ideas to the orchestra members (to get them on the same page, so to speak). In fact, it could be said that the majority of a conductor's work occurs before we see them in performance.
