In recognition of the fact that talented women conductors are less likely to find a way into the industry, the scheme provides wide-ranging training and support within the UK’s national opera company in the North. The Conductor Traineeship will take place over ten weeks of Opera North’s 26-27 Winter Season, between 23 November – 18 December 2026 and 4 January – 12 February 2027 (with an option to stay for an extra week if on interest), and will require residency in Leeds during that period. A bursary of £3,500 and subsistence payment of £1,500 will be provided (paid weekly). Applications are encouraged from people from all backgrounds who are currently underrepresented in the workforce, including minority ethnic communities and disabled people. This scheme is specifically designed for women, inclusively defined — that is, cis and trans women — based in the UK who face particular barriers within the conducting profession. We recognise that gender-diverse people may also have experienced misogyny or the challenges of navigating womanhood. If that applies to you, we warmly encourage you to apply. We also welcome applications from parents and would consider making adjustments to the programme as necessary. While elements of the traineeship are fixed to the company schedule, these are known well in advance, allowing us to plan around them. We can provide support finding accommodation and childcare.Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/jobs/53974https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/jobs/53974Maestro Christopher Warren-Green will conduct the prestigious International Conducting Masterclass.

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.

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=48Two days exploring leadership in music, centred on Brahms.
