FAQ
1) Will there be a conductor for larger ensembles?
No. As this is a local chamber ensemble (musicians from MPO), we will not be having a conductor. A conductor is usually reserved for ensembles bigger than 16 players.
2) How will rehearsals be conducted as travel likely remains difficult in July?
The musicians may record the rehearsal session and send to the respective composers for comments, and improvements done during the preceding sessions. That being said, please send your score and parts in a timely manner, and ensure that they are legible.
