Orchestral Percussion: A Masterclass for Conductors

A unique online course for conductors led by composer & percussionist David Moliner. Learn to analyze and conduct orchestral percussion with precision—from Beethoven and Berlioz to Xenakis, Boulez, and Moliner himself. Four live sessions (Fridays in September 2025) include score analysis, instrumental techniques, gesture, and rehearsal strategies. Explore classical, chamber, and contemporary repertoire, including Moliner’s works premiered at Lucerne Festival. Special focus on balance, articulation, and the expressive role of percussion in orchestral texture. Up to six participants will be selected for future collaborations with major orchestras (Valencia, São Paulo, Colón, Rheinland-Pfalz, etc.) and receive personalized mentoring. Participants will also connect with Universal Edition and key figures from the international conducting scene. Ideal for conductors seeking to refine their percussion knowledge and artistic voice.
