SOV Conducting Masterclass

The youngest project of our talent development trajectory: an international masterclass for young conductors. During three days, some young talents are given the opportunity to work together with our orchestra, under the direction of chief conductor Kristiina Poska. Master and apprentice, side by side! Together they study some absolute repertoire pieces and the magical art of conducting.
