Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced conductor, learn more about your craft in rehearsals, workshops and talks, and hear exciting performances of new music and exciting classics.
The Festival of Conducting was devised by Christopher McMullen-Laird, a former RCM conducting student who sadly passed away in 2020.
