CALL FOR ENTRIES: DONATELLA FLICK LSO CONDUCTING COMPETITION 2016
The Whittaker Library likes to share competition opportunities with our performing arts community. Today, we share with you the Donatella Flick LSO Conducting Competition:-
The Donatella Flick LSO Conducting Competition, created by Donatella
Flick in 1990, aims to help a young conductor establish an international
conducting career.
The winner of the competition is offered, in addition to an award of
£15,000, the opportunity to become Assistant Conductor of the London
Symphony Orchestra for up to one year.
The next competition will be held in London on 15–17 November 2016,
and is open to conductors under the age of 35 who are citizens of the 28
countries having full membership of the European Union.
Competition entry is open now, and is by online submission only. The deadline is 6pm on 21 April 2016.

Read what Last Night of The Proms conductor Marin Alsop had to say about sexism in music, in her Guardian interview last week: Here.
We do love our conductors ... truly, we do!
Compulsory reading for all music librarians and music library staff - Christopher Seaman published Inside Conducting last year, and the first part is subtitled 'The Conductor's Mind'. (Wouldn't we all like to get inside there?!)
Whittaker came across a useful link for singers and conductors, this weekend:
"Network with singers around the globe. This is a one-of-a-kind online choral community for singers and choral conductors to connect."
Definitely worth a look.
