Our annual Choral Conducting Symposium returns this season! The program invites emerging conductors and those who wish to refine their skills to participate in a five-day series of workshops and masterclasses with Artistic Director Jean-Sébastien. Participants will have the rare opportunity to conduct the 160 voices of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir of the TMChoir in rehearsals throughout the week and in the concluding free public performance, which is live-streamed.
