The Advanced Conducting Academy is an intensive two-week conducting course for advanced student conductors, emerging conductors, music educators and working professionals. It offers unequaled flexibility and diversity to craft a program of study tailored to each student’s specific interests and goals. During the first week conductors concentrate on music for Classical sized orchestra. The second week gives conductors opportunities to conduct virtuoso repertoire for large orchestra from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Participating conductors receive approximately 150 minutes of podium time with full orchestra, 60 additional minutes with string quintet and piano plus 30 minutes of video review with faculty, score study and musicianship seminars and daily Embodied Conducting℠ instruction. All participants conduct on two of the Institute’s four public concerts, See details including faculty bios, repertoire list, schedule, fee, application and dozens of alumni testimonials on the website.
