The RNCM's programme of external conducting masterclasses and short courses will once again see a Wind & Brass masterclass on the weekend of the 8th & 9th November.

It will see participants work with RNCM ensembles, as well as the KNDS Fairey Band who will play for a session on Elgar Howarth's arrangement of 'Pictures at an Exhibition' by Mussorgsky.

Courses

Separate course for Music Educators offers a structured series of workshops throughout the year, aimed at those working in music education, or studying to do so.

There are sessions with Derbyshire County Wind Band in October, a day with RNCM student ensembles in January, and an orchestral workshop with Junior RNCM in the spring. Participants also receive video feedback on their work with their own ensembles.

Finest

Speaking to 4BR, Prof Mark Heron, Head of Conducting at the RNCM, said: "The RNCM conducting programmes are regarded as some of the finest in the world, and we're delighted to be able to put on these weekend events in addition to our full-time degree programmes.

It's a great pleasure to have the KNDS Fairey Band involved in this season's programme alongside Manchester Camerata and our own RNCM groups."
