It all began in 2012. Nordic Masterclass for Conductors was founded on the initiative of Maria Badstue in cooperation with professor Jorma Panula and the South Denmark Philharmonic.
Until now, all focus has been on creating possibilities for young conductors to develop their ‘instrument’ in orchestral leadership, getting podium time and top level guidance by Jorma Panula and assistant teacher Maria Badstue. This will still be the main focus, but now the masterclass will expand with a new and very exciting initiative, namely the cooperation with 4 young classical singers under guidance of soprano Gitta-Maria Sjöberg.
The singers will work with a repertoire of well-known opera arias. This will of course lead to new experiences for both conductors and singers who will learn from each other. The result of this new collaboration will be presented at a concert the 7th of June 2019.
The singers will furthermore perform a concert accompanied by pianist Bernhard Greter in the Great Hall of Sønderborg Castle on June 5 2019
Welcome to the sixth Nordic Masterclass 2019 for both conductors and singers!
