ABOUT THE COURSE
The Ayuntamiento de Palma launches the I “Ciutat de Palma” International Wind Band Conducting Days, a new high-level training event that will be held from March 10 to 13, 2026 in the rehearsal room of the Banda Municipal de Palma, consolidating the Balearic capital as a new reference point for advanced training in wind band conducting.
Under the pedagogical direction of Maestro José Enrique Martínez Esteve, the days are open to conductors of any nationality and with no age limit, and are proposed as an intensive space for work on score study, rehearsal technique, repertoire criteria, and the development of artistic personality, with the opportunity to conduct a stable professional ensemble.
An intensive and progressive format
The program is structured in three clearly differentiated phases:
- First phase (March 10 and 11): sessions focused on the analytical study of the score, programming criteria, musical research, and creative processes applied to conducting.
- Semifinal (March 12): specific work on rehearsal techniques and communication with the wind band.
- Final phase (March 13): the selected participants will conduct and work directly with the Banda Municipal de Palma.
