Orchestral conducting masterclasses
Gabriel Pierné - 2nd edition
Orchestre national de Metz
Music Director: David Reiland
David Reiland, the music director
of the National Orchestra of
Metz, will once again be offering
a four-day orchestral conducting
masterclass from July 14th to 17th
2021.
Six young male and female
conductors in the early stages of
their career will be selected on
the merit of their application and
benefit from quality working time
with the National Orchestra of
Metz and its music director.
With this project, David Reiland,
himself a disciple of Dennis
Russel Davies, Pierre Boulez,
David Zinman, Bernard Haitink,
Jorma Panula and Peter Gülke,
now wishes to teach the highly
demanding art of orchestral
conducting, in close collaboration
with the musicians of the
National Orchestra of Metz.
This project is part of the 2020-
2024 action plan of the Unesco
Creative Cities Network, which
Metz has been a part of since 2019
concerning music.
