We are often told that conductors should treat a choir rehearsal as if it were the actual performance. In other words, we must plan and prepare well for our rehearsals to make the most out of them. From selection of repertoire, marking the score, to researching its background and knowing the music in depth, there is a lot of preparation to be done prior to a rehearsal.
This workshop will be conducted in the format of a conducting masterclass where participants will take turns to conduct other participants. In the process, guided by renowned conductor and vocalist Apollo Wong, preparation prior to the rehearsal, as well as rehearsal techniques will be thoroughly examined. With his extensive experience in conducting choirs of all ages and levels, Apollo will also share how he adjusts his rehearsal plans to fit the needs of the singers and bring out their potential.
