EMARSConducting

The EMARS Conducting Masterclass is designed for current and future leaders of wind, string, symphonic or vocal ensembles, as well as individuals interested in gaining a closer understanding of conducting. The blend of individual and group teaching dynamics, featuring trained permanent and guest lecturers, ensures effective knowledge and skill transmission, whether in practical or music-theoretical domains.

The seminar will be led throughout the year by lecturers Simon Perčič-conducting and mag. Jaka Pucihar- piano, music analysis and arranging. We are particularly pleased that this year we have been able to attract partners and individuals to expand and enrich the programme in both practical and theoretical areas. We will have chamber choirs as well as wind and symphony orchestras. Individual lectures will be thematically structured in order to integrate and apply theoretical approaches in practice. In addition to individual lessons, most of the lectures and practicals will be conducted in a group. In addition to encouragement for independent study, participants will be supported in the interpretation and analysis of the musical text, in the selection of literature and, last but not least, in the video analysis and reflection of their own conducting and interpretation. There will also be various discussions on repertoire and the psychology of conducting rehearsals or projects. Due to the different ensembles involved, the programme will be pre-determined. Special attention will also be given to those who have no experience of conducting an orchestra or choir. In addition to the recommended active participation, there is also the possibility of passive participation.
