These sessions are invaluable and some of the finest masterclasses in the world. Bravi to all in the Concertgebouworkest for being willing to participate, and to Maestro Luisi and the apprentice conductors.

“Till Eulenspiegel” is created for Anna’s hands! Very impressive!

For an up and coming conductor to conduct the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra must be like someone who has just got his drivers licence being put in a Formula 1 car.
