I believe the answer is:

maestro

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conductor perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a storm raging about european' is the wordplay.
'raging' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'a'+'storm'='astorm'
'astorm' anagrammed gives 'mastro'.
'mastro' enclosing 'e' is 'MAESTRO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Famous conductor" , "Are most in favour of a foreign master?" , "Top conductor" , "A master of any art, like music" , "Accomplished musician" .)
