Conductor Development
Symphony Australia aims to assist a new group of conductors to reach its potential by providing the highest quality training possible.
Taught by international conductors, our 'Core Conductors' offers conductors the opportunity to hone their skills and provides access to the region's finest symphony orchestras. This year our international conducting teachers include course director Christopher Seaman and German conductors Lutz Koehler, Sebastian Lang-Lessing and Baldur Bronnimann.
Our 2010 season of Core Conductor Development includes, for the first time, two mastercourses with the Auckland Philharmonia, and we welcome applicants from New Zealand to our program.
Our 'Scholars' program is for talented schoolchildren who are offered the chance to work with Christopher Seaman and an ensemble of professional musicians. Applications for this program will open in early 2010.
Christopher Seaman is Course Director of the Conductor Development program. A regular guest conductor of Australian symphony orchestras, he devotes a number of weeks each year to teaching and directing our training programs.
We are delighted to welcome all the guest conductors who will join Christopher Seaman in providing expertise and guidance throughout the year.
Applications for the 2010 program have now closed.
