ABOUT THE COURSE
The Maestro Fusao Kajima Conducting Workshop is an intensive three-day program hosted by the Taipei International Conducting Academy & Festival (TICAF) at the National Taiwan Arts University (NTUA). Titled ‘Deep Intensive & Dynamic Approach,’ this workshop offers active participants full access to nine comprehensive training sessions, combining score analysis, group instruction, and masterclass discussions in a supportive educational environment.
Participants will work closely under the artistic guidance of Maestro Fusao Kajima, receiving direct one-on-one feedback. The curriculum focuses on gestural technique, score study, and physical communication, using a select repertoire that includes Richard Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4.
The workshop is highly selective, limiting active participation to 12 conductors who are selected through an online application and video screening process. Auditors are also welcome, with a limit of 30 passes available for the full three-day session, providing full observation rights to all rehearsals and feedback loops.
