JOIN US FOR THIS UNIQUE WORKSHOP OPPORTUNITY!
MAY 19-22, 2022
In this workshop, conductors will have the chance to learn from Maestro and Professor Donald Schleicher, as well as have the unique opportunity to see him rehearse and perform with the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra. The LGSO is a community orchestra made up of volunteers, so a special focus in discussions throughout the workshop will explore what this means both in and out of rehearsals. The workshop will feature masterclass and discussion components, in addition to many conducting opportunities and podium time.
The workshop will be based at various locations around the Lake Geneva, WI area. Transportation to/from workshop sessions that are not within walking distance will be provided from the Mill Creek Hotel. Some meals will be provided. These costs are included in the workshop tuition. Participants can request lodging, if needed. Sessions will include repertoire previews, conducting, lectures, as well as guided discussions and feedback forums.
Conductors will have at least 45 minutes of podium time over the course of the 4 days with a sextet (string quintet plus piano) and full orchestra. Concert admission is included for all participants. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn from Mr. Schleicher and work with wonderful musicians!
