ABOUT THE COURSE
Organized by the Sibelius Academy Conducting Department and the Seinäjoki Unit of the University of the Arts Helsinki, this masterclass with Atso Almila is aimed at conductors, concertmasters, and music students seeking to refine their orchestral conducting skills. The course emphasizes hand motor skills, conducting technique, and ensemble practice.
Active students will work daily with wind and string quintets from the Seinäjoki City Orchestra, receiving 18 to 20 minutes of podium time per day, complemented by video analysis and feedback. The course concludes with a final concert at the Seinäjoki-sali.
