Overview of the conducting masterclass, 26.6 - 02.7.2015

News:

We offer you a 7-day masterclass with Maestro Olivieri-Munroe and a full professional symphony orchestra (55 musicians) - The Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra (Czech Republic). The masterclass includes orchestral rehearsals, individual lessons with two pianists, a dress rehearsal and a final concert.

The conducting masterclass will take place in Reduta Hall, Olomouc. ( Hotel accommodation will be provided.)

This masterclass includes pieces from the main repertoire of orchestral conducting, based on European and Russian classical music.

The main aim of this course is to give you a stepping stone for your development, on the way forming your individual conducting style. The course will include individual lessons with two pianists for the development of conducting techniques, the analysis of scores and preparing for rehearsal with the orchestra, as well as orchestral rehearsals and the concert. This masterclass is focused on the conducting techniques of students and graduates of music academies. There is no age limit, however, this masterclass is suitable for advanced conducting students and professional conductors.

The masterclass has a wide range, focussing on all aspects of conducting: from elementary conducting gestures, through all the technical elements, scores and style analysis, to certain psychological preparations for orchestral conducting at rehearsals and the concert.

We offer you several pieces, some of the most important scores in the orchestral repertoire for study with different styles, forms and particularities of conducting. The majority of the masterclass participants, assuming they continue their musical careers, will more than likely continue their conducting practice, and anything you can do to become familiar with this famous repertoire in advance is helpful.

Experience, especially sensitive subtle insight and discernment of prof. Olivieri-Munroe allow you to feel free in achieving a final successful effect in the concert.

You will have an opportunity to work with the big professional symphony orchestra. --

The Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, and a great young Czech soloist, - Olga Šroubková (1993).

Each Active Participant will conduct the Symphony orchestra for a minimum of 25 minutes daily

It will provide a new charge of energy to your progressive line of conducting and the next step in your professional growth.
