About
Training professional conducting talent is one of the important means of developing the sector and has been a major priority for the WMC since 1970. During the 19th edition of the festival, WMC will be collaborating with the Association of Conductors and Instructors (BvOI) in order to organize an International Conductors Contest (13-20 July 2022). The contest’s main focus is on observing the conductors in as many different conducting situations as possible. As such, participants in the contest will conduct professional ensembles and orchestras in different types of compositions. The participant has the possibility to work with the Helicon Wind Ensemble (NL), the Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Air Force (BE) and the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy (NL).
The International Conductors Contest will take place during WMC 2022. Out of the total number of registrations, 24 candidates will be selected who will receive an admission for the contest. The ultimate winner of the golden baton will be decided during the final concert, where three finalists will conduct a concert in the Roda Hall.
