The best shape it — knowing when to trust impulse, when to restrain it, and how to transform raw force into clear musical direction. This masterclass trains exactly that. With the close, demanding mentorship that only Luis Clemente — one of the most sought-after conducting pedagogues in Europe today — can provide. Tchaikovsky's Fourth amplifies everything: energy, contrast, orchestral weight. It rewards clarity and exposes excess in equal measure. Weber's Der Freischütz removes whatever protection remains — transparency and rhythmic precision leave no margin for ambiguity. Together, these two works create the ideal laboratory. Everything is heard, felt and worked through! · PODIUM: ~100 min OCA Chamber Orchestra + ~90 min individual coaching · Max. 6 conductors · closing performance · Online prep · 3 in-person days · follow-up · APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 July 2026Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:55:18 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11099?ref=48https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11099?ref=48SCHUBERT: Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished" BRAHMS: Symphony No. 1, Op. 68 Some things only change with time — time on the podium, time inside the score, time working with musicians who respond to what you actually do. And the kind of close, demanding mentorship that only Luis Miguel Clemente — one of the most sought-after conducting pedagogues in Europe today — can provide. This masterclass gives you all of that. Schubert's and Brahms's symphonies expose everything. How you think across long spans. How you sustain direction when the harmony withholds resolution. How you hold architectural weight without losing proportion. These are not abstract skills — they are tested, in the room, with an orchestra, in front of a pedagogue who hears everything. · PODIUM TIME: ~100 min OCA Chamber Orchestra + ~90 min Individual coaching · max. 6 conductors · closing performance · Online prep · 3 in-person days · follow-up · ONLY 2 PLACES REMAINING · APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 July 2026Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:46:24 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11098?ref=48https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11098?ref=48L’Académie de direction d’orchestre, nouvelle composante du 39e Festival de Gensac, offre aux chefs/cheffes d’orchestre en formation l’opportunité de répéter et de se produire avec des musiciens professionnels de l’Orchestre de Chambre de la Gironde (orchestre du Festival), sous la direction du Prof. Scott Sandmeier, chef d’orchestre et enseignant de longue date à la Hochschule für Musik Freiburg en Allemagne. *** The Conducting Academy, a new part of the 39th Festival de Gensac, offers conductors in training the opportunity to rehearse and perform with professional musicians of the Orchestre de Chambre de la Gironde (Festival Orchestra) under the guidance of Prof. Scott Sandmeier, conductor and long-time teacher at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg in Germany.Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:19:39 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11095?ref=48https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11095?ref=48MOZART Masterclass 5- 11 September, 2026 Maestro Martin SIEGHART & Slovak Sinfonietta Žilina September 5-11, 2026 Special offer!
