IMB Proudly Presents:
Ludwig van Beethoven
May 25th – 30th 2014 with M° Lior Shambadal and the Berlin Sinfonietta.
We are happy to collaborate for the first time with the Chief Conductor of the Berliner Symphoniker, Maestro Lior Shambadal. Maestro Shambadal, born in 1950, is a very sought after conductor with a long international career as an opera and concerts conductor, and as a teacher who gives several masterclasses for condcutors each year.
Besides intensive active conducting sessions with a professional orchestra, each one of the participants will have the chance to work with Mr. Shambadal on critical aspects of conducting including studying the score, musical analysis, conducting technique and string technique. We will have four orchestra rehearsals (4 hours long each) with the professional musicians of the Berlin Sinfonietta. All the participants will have the chance to perform in the final, public concert.
In this masterclass we will focus exclusively on symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven. It will be a unique chance to spend a week with a professional orchestra and Maestro Shambadal, and to go into the depths of this
The course will be taught primarily in English, and secondarily in German. If you don’t speak these languages, and you would like to participate in the masterclass, we will make our best effort to provide a translator. Please mention that in your application. All the sessions with the orchestra will be video recorded, and each participant will receive his or her videos on a 8 GB USB stick, which he or she may keep and take home with them.
Participants are welcome to bring their own recording device.
