What does the Choral Conducting study programme offer? 

The study programme is taught at a multidisciplinary department, which enables various forms of collaboration between composers and multimedia creators, conductors, choirmasters, opera directors and audio engineers. There is a team of top experts with many years of experience that ensures the studies, at the end of which the listener should be a sought-after expert in various areas of vocal music. 

What skills will a graduate of the Choral Conducting programme acquire? 

Such graduate should be able to study and perform works intended for different types of choirs (children, youth, women, men and mixed), with his or her own artistic opinion, shaped by the graduate’s knowledge of the specifics of different stylistic periods. 

 How is Choral - Conducting taught? 

Unlike many higher education institutions, the Choral Conducting specialisation is taught separately at JAMU, i.e. not together with Orchestral Conducting, in order to provide the deepest possible insight into individual issues. This allows listeners to fully engage with the practice choir and other ensembles, attend courses focused on the discipline, and thus cover a greater amount of choral repertoire. However, they also have the option of studying a “neighbour” field for up to two years.
