Wymondham Musical Masterclass
Date Posted: Sat, 18 Apr 2026
Following another sell-out concert celebrating “fresh beginnings” in late March, Wymondham Symphony Orchestra had only a short rest over the Easter break before they were back at work rehearsing. They started the term with something a little different on 11 April at Wymondham College: they contributed to a conducting masterclass! Featuring 6 budding conductors from across the globe (Romania, UK, Russia, and the Netherlands) and organised by Peter Stark (Professor of Conducting at London’s Royal College of Music). Each young conductor had the opportunity to rehearse with the orchestra, practising their conducting technique (including body language and clarity of gesture) as well as bringing their own unique musicality and artistry to each session. The day ended with an informal concert for friends and family. It was a fantastic collaborative effort and the orchestra were delighted to support the development of future conducting talent.  |
