Masterclass and Networking with Victoria Ely
About
Hone your conducting technique in this choral conducting masterclass with Victoria Ely.During the afternoon, conductors will work with a selection of a cappella choral repertoire from the UK and Europe.
Victoria’s teaching emphasises musical leadership just as much as conducting
techniques. Her philosophy is centred around the conductor as an inspirational
leader, where understanding the needs and potential of the ensemble is paramount to the success of any rehearsal or performance.
This masterclass will look at gesture and rehearsal techniques to develop effective choral direction that expresses articulation, phrasing and physical communication - thus enabling the singers to feel both free and engaged. Building on each conductor’s personal style and strengths, we create an open, investigative and inclusive learning environment in the pursuit of excellent musical leadership.
Uniquely characterised by philosophical reflection, communication and inspiration, Victoria’s masterclasses facilitate a fruitful dialogue between singers and conductors.
