Ensemble Overview

A feature of QMEC, delegates can participate in two types of ensembles to expand their conference experience: Performance and Pedagogy Ensembles. Both ensembles rehearse adjacent to the main Conference program, allowing Delegates to participate without missing out on Conference Sessions. Please note that Performance Ensemble concert rehearsals run during regular Conference program on Day 3. Ensemble allocations will be made with consideration of availability and ensemble balance.

Performance Ensembles provide delegates with the opportunity to rehearse with a renowned conductor, perform high-level repertoire, and showcase their work at the Gala Concert.

Purpose: To deliver a professionally challenging experience, culminating in a performance at the closing concert.

Eligibility: Open only to full-time delegates.

Preparation: Delegates will receive music prior to the conference and are expected to prepare thoroughly before rehearsals.

Nominations: Close 30 March 2027. Late nominations may be considered if space permits.
Rehearsal Times: Rehearsals for all performance ensembles run simultaneously in the afternoon of days 1 and 2, and across Sessions on day 3 (to prepare for the concert).

Pedagogy Ensembles focus on professional development in conducting and ensemble pedagogy, skill refinement on an alternate instrument, and additional opportunities for delegates to engage in the ensemble experience. These ensembles do not perform at the Gala Concert but may feature in sessions or rehearsals observed by other delegates

Purpose: To provide professional development opportunities, including conducting and ensemble pedagogy training, refining skills on an alternate instrument, and ensemble experience.

Eligibility: Open to part-time delegates as well as full-time delegates, however delegates are expected to commit to both days.

Rehearsal Times: Day 2 & 3 (only): 7:45am – 8:45am

Rehearsal Structure:

All delegates are encouraged to bring their instrument(s) and participate in an ensemble. Each ensemble will have multiple rehearsal sessions.

Rehearsals for Pedagogy Ensembles are embedded in the Conference program, running at the same time as Sessions.

Performance and Pedagogy Ensembles run separately so delegates may participate in up to one of each.

This structure ensures that both performance and pedagogy ensembles cater to the diverse needs and interests of delegates, providing meaningful opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

Full commitment is required – delegates are expected to attend all rehearsals and performance (for Performance Ensembles).

You can nominate up to three ensembles to participate in across both Performance and Pedagogy Ensembles.

Which Ensemble/s do you wish to nominate for?

In case you don’t get your first preference, you may wish to nominate an alternative Ensemble or even a different instrument/voice within the same Ensemble.

Step 20 of 26

Conductor Development Opportunities

A bonus feature of QMEC, delegates are able to participate in two opportunities to support the development of conducting skills and practices: Conductor Tutorials and Conducting Masterclasses. Positions are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. All delegates are encouraged to attend a Conducting Masterclass as a musician-observer. While you can elect to participate in both a Tutorial and a Masterclass, please note that Conducting Masterclasses run concurrently – delegates can choose to participate in only one ensemble. Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your conducting skills or learn from some of the best in the field!

Conductor Tutorials are one-on-one, 20-minute sessions in which delegates can work with renowned experts in their fields. Gain expert and individualised feedback to refine and develop your own conducting technique.

Participation: As places are limited, sessions will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Unallocated options will be available for selection below.

Preparation: You will need to bring a short (<5 min) video of yourself conducting OR a score you're currently working on. The video may be played during the session and used as a starting point for the session.

Conducting Masterclasses are led by QMEC’s most established conductors. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to develop conducting skills with live ensembles and receive personalised feedback.

Participation: Delegates may attend as a musician-observer in the Masterclass ensemble, or nominate for podium time to work with the mentor as a delegate-conductor. As podium time is limited, sessions will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Unallocated options will be available for selection on the next page.

Times available: Each masterclass offers three podium-time slots, during which selected delegates will conduct and receive feedback during their 20-minute allocation.

Nomination: Submit your nomination to apply for podium time in your chosen Masterclass.

Selection: Delegates selected for podium time will be notified in advance of the Conference.

Preparation: Selected delegate-conductors will choose one piece/excerpt from a provided list of three repertoire options (at varying difficulty levels) to conduct during the Masterclass.

Musician-observers: Unlimited positions are available. Observers will gain valuable insights into conducting techniques, repertoire interpretation, and ensemble leadership. And don't forget to bring your instrument.
