FSO-SPECTRA Conducting Masterclass

The FSO-SPECTRA Conducting Masterclass is 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 experienced conductors. Master and apprentice, side by side! Together they study some absolute repertoire pieces and the magical art of conducting.

In collaboration with SPECTRA, Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Ghent and Forum Dirigieren. This project is supported by the Flemish Community.

Be part of the upcoming FSO-SPECTRA Conducting Masterclass!

From 15 to 18 June, the latest edition of the masterclass for young conductors will take place at Muziekcentrum De Bijloke. Together with prof. conductor Christian Ehwald and Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen, three conductors will tackle Brahms 1. With SPECTRA ensemble for contemporary music and their artistic director Filip Rathé, they will sink their teeth into new music.
