For those who are not familiar, the #WYCW began in 2009 to facilitate #Conducting training for young conductors. Since then, we have had joined us Conductors who are young-at-heart as well. This is really great as it provided an opportunity for both sides to see different perspectives on conducting and conducting technique. The Band-In-Attendance is as always, the Republic Polytechnic Wind Symphony (RPWS).

Please find the repertoire list for #WYCW2018 below. Each one presents many learning opportunities for all levels of Conductors. All Active Participants will be provided with a set of ALL scores for study purposes. To facilitate learning and preparation, please register no later than 30 Jun 2018.

Those who have emailed me and registered your interest will be given priority. There are only 10 Active Participant slots available this year. 2 of the slots will be reserved for the Concertmasters of RPWS as part of their training programme. To date, 5 slots have been reserved!

If you are keen to participate as an Active Participant or as an Observer, please email me at mbmayusri@hotmail.com providing me with your past conducting exposure (Active Participants only).
