July 9 – 13, 2024 (Tuesday-Saturday)
9:00 am – 4:00 pm

The 2024 Mason Summer Conducting Symposium provides continuing professional development opportunities for conductors and educators of all levels (K-12 through professional) focused on developing gestural vocabulary and ensemble leadership. Large group masterclasses and individualized feedback will allow participants to explore new approaches to score study, movement, and rehearsal techniques. Students have the opportunity to participate in a Wind Band Track or Orchestral Track.

Participants will have an opportunity to conduct multiple times throughout the week, receive feedback and guidance from all conducting faculty, participate in group score study sessions, and observe other conducting participants. Each participant is expected to play as an ensemble member when not conducting on the podium. Participants will select one of two tracks for repertoire focus: orchestral or wind band.

Registration Deadline: Friday, June 14, 2024
