CMO Great Maestros Masterclasses Online Series

CMO GREAT MAESTROS MASTERCLASSES ONLINE PRESENTS MAESTRO LEONARD SLATKIN COPLAND AND GERSHWIN MASTERCLASSES SEPTEMBER 16 & 23, 2023 @12:00 EST

 

Who better than the Maestro called "America's Music Director" for your online masterclass?  

 

Internationally acclaimed conductor Leonard Slatkin is Music Director Laureate of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO), Directeur Musical Honoraire of the Orchestre National de Lyon (ONL), Conductor Laureate of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (SLSO), and Principal Guest Conductor of the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria (OFGC). He maintains a rigorous schedule of guest conducting throughout the world and is active as a composer, author, and educator.

 

In his own words: "Aside from Gershwin’s American in Paris, Copland's Appalachian Spring is probably the most substantial piece of music from the United States that I have conducted the most frequently. It transcends international boundaries and  is always appreciated by musicians and public, no matter where it is performed. The work should be in the repertoire of every conductor."

 

Both works should also be in yours. Whether you have conducted them or not, every chance to have direct access for demonstrations, discussions and insights into these masterpieces from this world class Maestro is a conductor's dream come true.  

 

Copland's “Appalachian Spring”, September 16, 12:00 EST

Gershwin's “An American in Paris”, September 23, 12:00 EST

 

$300 USD or equivalent currency per conductor

$500 USD or equivalent currency for both Masterclasses

 

While live masterclasses have advantages, it is rare and unique to have this online education, access and experience with a legendary Maestro.  Space is limited to 100 for each. First come first served.  No age limit. No gender questions asked. Just be a conductor. Sign up today for your Masterclass and take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. 

 

Says CMO Founder and Artistic Director Maestro John Axelrod, "There is a huge global demand for conducting training.  Masterclasses with orchestras are the norm as I have done in Bucharest and Sapporo, but during Covid, I saw the opportunity to provide online masterclasses for conductors.  Since 2020, over 100 conductors have benefitted from online training at www.conductorsmasterclassonline.com, with some going on to win competitions and jobs.   With the CMO Great Maestros Masterclass Online Series, CMO will reach a world wide audience of conductors and create a catalogue of online masterclasses for future access and education.  I am grateful to Maestro Slatkin for his acceptance to start the series.  More Maestros to come!"

WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR NEED?

Access. Education. Experience.  What challenges do conductors face? Getting in front of orchestras and having a mentor to help guide their careers.

What can CMO do?  By offering these once in a lifetime masterclasses online with the great Maestri of today, in addition to private lessons, CMO is a lifeline for conductors on all levels, educating, giving access and providing experience. Without CMO, conductors are left to themselves to know the ins and outs of a score, are forced to work within the system of the industry or must fight for every engagement. CMO helps in ways few agencies and promoters can. 

CMO CONSORTIUM provides you the foundations of an orchestral and opera conductor career without having to pay huge amounts on travel and accommodation and registration fees.

Be trained and mentored by some of the top active conductors today with online teaching. Understand not only what works, but what doesn’t. Lean to improve repertoire, rehearsal technique and effective programming.  

A conductor's life needs score study, podium performance and stable income. Expectations are warranted. You expect to make beautiful music and money. We expect you make beautiful music and earn money.  That's all there is.
