Program

minimum podium time: 140 min.

Participants will be offered an online group session prior to the course, designed as a preparatory meeting to introduce key concepts and support their music preparation for the workshop.

Day 1 & Day 2

(7 hrs per day)4 repertoire sessions with 2 pianists2 group coaching sessions

Over the first two days, we'll have four repertoire sessions, working with pianists and both tutors. The focus will be on connecting your musical vision with your physical expression. In addition, we'll help identify any potentially unproductive habits, providing an excellent opportunity to replace them with more effective ones. The insights gained during these initial days will prepare you for Day 3, when you will conduct an ensemble of two pianists and a string quintet.

Day 3

( 7 hrs)2 session with ensemblegroup discussion

Day 3 marks the transition from working with pianists to exploring the dynamic world of ensemble performance, conducting an ensemble of strings quintet and 2 pianists, and accompanying a singer in dramatic recitativo and aria. By gradually expanding the scope of our focus, we ensure a comprehensive and seamless learning experience that empowers you to become a more effective and expressive conductor within an ensemble context.

Day 4

1 on 1 session with both tutors
group discussion
1 final rehearsal and showcase performance

On Day 4, you will have the opportunity for individualised guidance and mentorship during one-on-one session with both tutors. These personalised session will allow you to receive tailored feedback, address specific musical challenges, and refine your technical skills.

In the afternoon, we will come together for a last group discussion and preparation for your final rehearsal. This session provides an open forum to exchange ideas, share insights, and explore topics relevant to competition technique and performance.

The final rehearsal will integrate everything you have experienced over the workshop, culminating in a final performance for your video portfolio.
