International Choral Conducting Course: 2025 Tutors announced!

Conductors are being encouraged to sign up for the 2025 International Choral Conducting Course as part of the Cork International Choral Festival

Now in its fourth year, the three-and-a-half day, intensive, hands-on course runs from Tuesday 29th April - Friday 2nd May 2025 and will offer a range of techniques to develop conducting skills under the leadership of expert international guest tutors Anna Fűri (Hongrie) et Shane Lynch (USA).

Le cours, qui se déroule dans la ville de Cork, se concentrera sur les compétences de base en direction d'orchestre telles que les gestes physiques, la bonne écoute, les détails du répertoire, les techniques de répétition, la gestion de l'ensemble et le leadership. D'autres domaines clés du développement des compétences en direction d'orchestre seront couverts, notamment la génération de nouvelles idées de répertoire, ainsi que des cours de chant axés sur la santé vocale et l'aide à soi et aux autres.

L'aboutissement de toutes ces compétences sera présenté lors d'un atelier d'ensemble le dernier matin avec Chœur de chambre Irlande - L'ensemble choral phare d'Irlande. Ce sera un événement public.

The course is designed for anyone with experience in leading choirs of all kinds and is interested in taking their theory and practical skills to a new level while networking with other conductors. It will help conductors to guide their choirs, tempo, sound and expression. We are honoured to be joined this year by two world-renowned conductors whose vast experience will provide a unique learning experience for participants.

The cost is €295 per person, with a discount rate being offered to conductors of 2025 participating choirs. The rate includes tea/coffee breaks but does not cover main meals or accommodation. In order to create a bespoke experience for all participants, limited places will be available. More information and registration form are available ici. Registration closes on 7th February 2025.
