Conductors of all types of ensembles develop their skills by learning the Saito studies and supplementary works by composers such as van Lijnschooten, Puccini, Nielsen, Holst, Respighi and Bartok.
Participants will conduct duo pianists and a string orchestra. Limited enrollment allows extensive podium time.
