ICWF 2025 NBOBO Conductor Application

This is the application form for ICWF 2025 NBOBO workshop as a conductor. Applicants must be past participants or invited to apply. To get an invitation to apply, you must have a recommendation sent directly to info@conductingworkshop.org.

Please list the repertoire you would like to conduct. We will have a standard 19th century Romantic orchestra (with a reduced string section - 65432). It is a small hall, though, so this size works well even for Tchaikovsky and Brahms. Participation cost is based on the length of repertoire. One slot is approximately 12 minutes of music. 

In no more than 500 words, please explain how you hope that participation in this workshop will help you in your musical development and career.

Please upload a biography for the program book and website (in English). (Word or PDF)

Please upload a high resolution photo to use on the website, in the program and in promotional materials for the concert.

Since this workshop will have no specific instruction sessions, the required level of expertise is significantly higher than for other workshops we have presented. It is mandatory that you are ready to lead a professional, European orchestra in concert with a very short rehearsal period. If you are not a past participant, you must be invited to apply. To receive an invitation to apply, please upload a specific reference letter recommending that you attend this workshop. (PDF or Word only)
