ULYSSES JOURNEYS FOR PERFORMERS AND CONDUCTORS

Divertimento’s Orchestra Conducting Course retraces the strategies used in the preparation of a public concert.

After a first day dedicated to the analysis of the scores, interpretative indications and technical conventions in the relationships with the ensemble, rehearsals are organised as in a normal concert production.

The admitted students take turns on the podium and collaborate together in the concertation of the program. The teacher coordinates and directs the interpretation, intervening, when necessary, on technical problems.

Each student uses the rehearsals of the other students, the indications of the teacher and the suggestions of the composer present as a tutor to achieve the objective.

With very few exceptions, all students will conduct at least one piece of the study repertoire in one of the five public concerts scheduled in Moncalvo and Milano, having a part of the dress rehearsal available to define their own personal interpretative indications. It is also possible to attend as auditors without any selection or age limit.

The best student of the course will be invited to conduct a concert in Milan in the Rondò 2026 season.

In 2025, two conductors will attend the Orchestra Conducting Course in the framework of their ULYSSES Journeys for Conductors. Two performers will attend the Course in the framework of their ULYSSES Journeys for Performers.
