Master of Music -
Conducting Orchestra

Deepen talents.

The program "Master of Music Conducting Orchestra" is aimed at graduated conductors whose performance and talent clearly indicate an aptitude for a successful career in concert life. Exemplary works from the repertoire are used to illuminate all aspects of working with the orchestra and to promote the development of the student's own artistic personality. In addition, score playing and ear training with an emphasis on intonation are deepened and impulses from the fields of early and new music are made possible. The conducting class works with a professional orchestra at least once a semester and presents the result of this collaboration in the college's concert hall.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact the appropriate contact person(s).
