The first day is a full study day followed by two days of active conducting with the ensemble.

This will include a discussion about orchestral challenges of the piece, potential solutions, individual interpretations, aspects of technical difficulties and developing a productive rehearsal technique appropriated to the repertoire.

During practical weekends ( Saturday and Sunday)  all participants will work with professional chamber orchestra. Soloists join the course on Sunday. 

Each participant will conduct for 45 min per day, two sessions a day, before and after lunch break.
Each day will be finished with a debriefing and discussion session where all participants will receive individual feedback.
Full schedule will be provided for all participants in advance.

All practical days will be held at St Hilda`s College Oxford, and will be recorded by MuzikFermata.
Recordings will be available for active participants only.
