Now in its 7th edition, CONVIMUS – International Music Festival reaffirms the International Conducting Course as one of its core educational pillars, continuing an initiative that has become firmly established within the educational landscape. Produced by the AMASING Association in collaboration with the AMASING Symphony Orchestra, the course will be led by conductor Achim Holub, whose approach combines technical rigour, interpretative clarity and a deep understanding of music.
At the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to conduct the AMASING Symphony Orchestra in a public concert, putting the knowledge they have acquired into practice in a real-life on-stage experience.
Young conductors, musicians at the beginning of their careers, conducting students, pedagogues and professional musicians of all ages who wish to develop or deepen their musical leadership skills.
Achim Holub is a leading Austrian conductor of the new generation, renowned for his musicality, interpretative clarity and technical precision. Since 2010, he has been principal conductor of the London Classical Soloists, with whom he has developed major symphonic cycles, and he regularly collaborates with various prestigious orchestras and projects in London and across Europe. Over the course of a career spanning more than two decades, he has worked with some of Europe’s leading orchestras and was a close collaborator of Sir John Eliot Gardiner. With a solid background in conducting and an innovative artistic approach, he combines his work as a conductor with teaching and performing as an accompanist.
