Philip Harper, MD of the World no. 1 Cory Band, will discuss the importance to artistic leaders of self-learning, curious listening and wild imagination, as well as covering the basics of ‘on the ground’ artistic direction as a conductor working with bands in rehearsals.
Each topic will be illustrated with practical examples, including a live rehearsal session with a band, and demonstrations of how Cory Band has learnt to market itself in the 21st Century.
This training day is open to all, but is particularly aimed at Musical Directors and band committee members.
