The Australian Conducting Academy is one of a kind.
For emerging conductors who are forging a pathway onto the podium of
professional symphony orchestras, this is for you.
In addition to covering all the fundamentals, you will do this in partnership
with the musicians of two state orchestras and benefit from their centuries
of collective wisdom and experience. In addition to the summer school in
Hobart, we are delighted to announce an expansion of the program to include
a spring module with Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and the
Queensland Symphony Orchestra, our new Australian Conducting Academy
partners.
Under the leadership of TSO’s Principal Guest Conductor and course director,
Johannes Fritzsch, you will work across a range of repertoire and test your
mettle conducting full orchestra calls. You will also join a group of Australian
Conducting Academy alumni who are doing extraordinary things in music, all
around the world.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Hobart.
