The conducting studio at the HfMDK is intended to provide conducting practice for students of conducting classes and church music. Students are allowed to conduct a student instrumental ensemble. The focus is on rehearsal work and conducting.
We would like to thank the sponsor of this course, Mr. Udo Schweickhardt, who has made this pilot project possible with a generous donation.
Instrumentalists wanted!
We are looking for interested instrumentalists who would like to take part in the conducting workshop.
Participation can be credited in the elective area, but can also replace the orchestra requirement if instrumentalists could not be assigned to a university project despite their orchestra requirement! Credit will then be given after consultation with the orchestra office: Lisa Beck
