Cecilia in Bergamo presents an advanced Masterclass in Choral Conducting and Performance Practice, devoted to seventeenth-century Italian sacred repertoire. Directed by Maestro Filippo Maria Bressan, the course is designed for choral conductors and singers wishing to deepen their knowledge through an intensive programme of study, rehearsal and practical music-making. Participants will work alongside the professional singers of the Cappella Musicale of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the period-instrument ensemble Magnifica Comunità, led by concertmaster Enrico Casazza. The Masterclass will culminate in a public concert featuring Beata es Virgo Maria, conducted by Maestro Bressan and by selected conducting students chosen during the course.Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:42:47 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11420?ref=48https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11420?ref=48Launched in 2023, our flagship LPO Conducting Fellowship seeks to support the development of the world-class conductors of the future, through offering an intensive opportunity to work closely with the Orchestra over a period of 6-8 (non-consecutive) weeks each season, to up to two outstanding early-career conductors from backgrounds currently under-represented in conductors of professional, world-class orchestras. We believe that talent is indiscriminate, yet people from certain backgrounds and communities continue to be under-represented in the orchestral sector. The LPO Conducting Fellowship aims to promote diversity and inclusivity in classical music as a whole, to lead eventually to a sector that is more reflective of the wider population. We invite applicants from conductors from historically under-represented communities in terms of gender identity, race, socio-economic backgrounds, neurodiversity, Disability or other under-represented group. Providing artistic and professional development experiences at the highest level of excellence to early career conductors from under-represented backgorunds is an important goal of the programme. Applicants must be over 18 and not in full-time undergraduate education. UK-based conductors are strongly encouraged to apply and will be prioritised. Applicants should download and read the 'Information for Applicants' document before applying.
