Just as in the competition, the musicians are encouraged to observe, respond, and ultimately vote for the conductors with whom they establish the strongest artistic and human connection, selecting their four preferred participants, who will conduct the final concert. The masterclass focuses on works by Mozart, Respighi and Tchaikovsky. The conducting technique follows the principles of Sergiu Celibidache, and the course includes Barform analysis—an approach based on the work of Alfred Lorenz and further developed by Romanian conductor Constantin Bugeanu. https://orchestrasconductor.com/conducting-masterclassSat, 06 Jun 2026 12:30:01 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11231?ref=48https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/it/courses/11231?ref=48The Japanese-German Philharmonic Society has presented its conducting masterclass since 1996. Today, conductors and students from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Oceania join participants from Japan—drawn not by advertising, but by what they discover when they search. What they discover is a nine-day intensive course with the Symphonische Akademie, a full professional orchestra that responds immediately and precisely to every gesture. When an orchestra plays exactly what you conduct, you learn things no student ensemble can teach. You quickly discover what you truly know. The 2027 program includes works by Haydn, Stravinsky, Wagner, R. Strauss, and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8. Participants may choose between ensemble sessions, full-orchestra sessions, or the complete nine-day course. The course is led by Naoki Sugiyama, a student of Herbert Kegel and Kurt Redel, two distinguished figures of the German conducting tradition.

We also encourage proposals on composers and works influenced by Beethoven. This may include, but is not limited to: Great masterworks of the time period, or works from any time period that were influenced by Beethoven’s legacy Conductors of any genre known for their interpretation or advocacy of these works Proposals will not be accepted solely on the basis of a focus on Beethoven and his legacy; we also encourage other ideas centered on topics important to conductors. Presentations should be on topics that engender deep discussion and discovery for professional conductors of all stripes (Orchestra, Band, Chorus, Ballet, Opera, Musical Theatre).
