As I am sure you know, panache is a French word meaning literally a plume or a tuft of waving feathers and in the figurative sense in French it is used in the same way as it has been adopted into English. With panache means in a particularly skillful/enthusiastic way. A similar word is flamboyantly. You could say that the conductor of an orchestra, who conducts in a dramatic and lively manner is conducting with panache.
