A final call has gone out to aspiring conductors who wish to snatch the opportunity to work alongside Russell Gray in Norway this weekend as part of his Conducting Seminar in Askoy.

Fresh from a busy weekend of conducting (both with Foden's Band and as part of the jury for the European Conducting Competition) in Stavanger, Russell has already hosted a successful event in Scotland, and will now head to Askoy to help the development of conductors there.

Friday start

The Norwegian course starts on Friday 23rd May at Folleso Musikklag where the conductors will work on Edward Gregson's 'Laudate Dominum' as well as other compositions.

The Yamaha Artist stated: "It's all about supporting the personal development of talent that is always there, to a higher standard; learning together, from baton techniques, rehearsal etiquette and interpretation of music by alternating between classroom sessions and full band rehearsals."

Conducting model

Russell will be assisted by Follesø Musikklag in their band room in Asketun on the island of Askøy.

It will see him lead delegates through the successful 'Voss Conducting Model' that has underpinned the development of a new generation of Lithuanian conductors.
