Proposed Repertoire for our next weekend workshop
Symphony No 39 - Mozart
Overture: Midsummer Night’s Dream – Mendelssohn
Pulcinella Suite - Stravinsky
The repertoire is chosen to allow students with a range of ability and experience to choose the most appropriate pieces to study. You are not required to conduct all the pieces, but you will benefit more from the course if you acquire study scores for them all. For beginners or relatively inexperienced students, we recommend that you choose two or three sections or movements and learn them thoroughly in advance of the course.
We strongly recommend that people with very little conducting experience should take a Beginners' Day course before attending a weekend course. Click here for more information.
