Young Conductors Day - Sunday 3 November
Throughout the weekend there will be opportunities for young choral conductors to extend their choral leadership skills, including a Young Conductor Training Day on Sunday 3 November, organised by the ABCD (Association of British Choral Directors), for which observer tickets are available.
If you are aged 18-25 and interested in leading choirs, or already have some conducting experience and would like to learn more, come and extend your choral leadership skills with a stimulating day of active participation, observation and ideas. Participants will have the opportunity to work with selected guest singers during the day. This event is particularly suitable for students studying music in any discipline, and those who are interested in developing their choral leadership skills further, and all participants will receive a complimentary ticket to the LICCC 2024 Competition Grand Final.
There are a maximum of 10 conductor places available, so it's advisable to book early to avoid disappointment!
