Building a solid foundation.
Our belief is that every conductor must have the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to study and understand a score, and to lead an orchestra in rehearsing and performing that score at the highest possible level realizing his or her highest musical and artistic potential.
“I deeply believe that all who wish to learn to conduct, at any age or level of experience, should have a gateway to do so.”
— Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Founder
