And Other Duties presents another free webinar!

Advice for conductors working in education and with professional orchestras.

What does it involve being an assistant conductor? And how do you build the skills to thrive — both on and off the podium?

These are the questions which we love to help answer at And Other Duties!

Our free weinars, which we offer throughout the year, have been attended by hundreds of conductors from around the world.

Join us on April 27th when we’ll be exploring the many roles of the assistant conductor, with a special focus on working in music education.

We’ll cover topics including rehearsal technique, score preparation, communicating with young musicians, managing professional relationships — and how to make yourself indispensable to a music director, orchestra, or organisation.

We’ll also share insights into our Rising Stars course with Chetham’s School of Music this summer — where assistant conductors work with players and singers, large ensembles, and professional mentors.

Perfect for emerging conductors wanting to build experience, develop essential skills.

Join us to discuss all this and more on Sunday 27 April 2025 at 7pm GMT+1/BST, 8pm CET, 2pm ET.
