The conducting academy of the HfM Saar Summerschool primarily deals with questions of interpretation, choral sound, intonation and their rehearsal and conducting implementation in a professional context. Particular attention is paid to the expression of the conduction through conducting technique and the individual “conducting language” of the participants. This is realized by individual conducting lessons with Prof. Grün, by video coaching with international guests, the globally renowned Calmus Ensemble and by passive participation in the choir rehearsals as well as by individually conducting the ChorWerkSaar Chamberchoir.

Part of the lessons and rehearsals within this year’s Summer School will be offered via live-stream video transmission on the Summerschool-YouTube-Channel to students and other musicans all over the world. Seminars, lectures and rehearsals by external lecturers from abroad are also made available for the participants of the summer school. In addition, professional conducting videos are produced for the candidates by a four-person film crew.
