Our first masterclass of this semester was presented by a Singaporean oboist and conductor Yibin Seow, who is currently Associate Conductor of the Orchestra of the Music Makers. While based in Europe, he was the Conductor of the Junior Royal Northern College of Music (UK), Principal Guest Conductor of North Cheshire Wind Orchestra (UK), and Conductor of the Musikgesellschaft Harmonie Büsserach (Switzerland).
Many of our students tried their hand at conducting for the first time. The masterclass provided them with the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, gaining an all-around understanding of the artistic, psychological, practical, and business issues involved in making a career as a conductor.
