David Reiland, the music director of the Orchestre national de Metz, will once again be offering a four-day orchestral conducting masterclass from July 10th to 13th 2022.
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 Orchestre national de 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 Orchestre national de 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.
