Two Exciting Conducting 21C Courses coming up in 2015

The work is in full swing with C21C 2015. We are especially excited over the fact that there are two courses coming up this time, one in Stockholm in August 20 to 24 and one in New Haven, USA in June 16-21, in collaboration with Yale University Choral Festival and Jeffrey Douma. This is the first edition outside of Stockholm and we hope for more of these international C21C collaborations in the future. They are both open for application at: www.conducting21c.com.
