The course retraces the strategies used in preparing a public concert.
After two online days dedicated to scores analysis, interpretative guidance and any technical conventions concerning the relationships with the ensemble, the rehearsals are organized as in a normal concert production.
The admitted tudents take turns on the podium and work together in the rehearsals process of the program. The teacher coordinates and guides the interpretation, intervening when necessary on technical issues.
Each student benefits from the rehearsals conducted by the other students, from the teacher’s indications and from the suggestions of the composers present as tutor, in order to achieve the course objectives.
All students, with only rare exceptions, will perform a piece in one concert. They will also have a portion of the dress rehearsal available to refine and complete their own interpretative choices.
