About the Symposium
The Conductors’ Symposium is an opportunity to take part in masterclasses with one of Canada’s premier professional choral ensembles. Under the guidance of Artistic Director Kari Turunen, five conductors from across Canada, the United States, and around the world will have ample podium time to hone their skills in a highly collaborative and collegial environment.
Kari will oversee the rehearsals, providing insight on choral techniques, conducting gestures and score interpretation. The repertoire this year is a little tongue-in-cheek with the Romantic referring to either content or stylistic period. This allows for a nice spread of styles and approaches. After an intensive week of rehearsals, participants will each conduct a portion of the Isn’t it Romantic? concert on Saturday, February 15, 2025.
Complete schedule and repertoire details are included in the brochure linked below.
