Have you ever wondered why a man in tails in front of the orchestra is waving his arms so vigorously? And what is in his hand? Is it a magic wand with which he casts spells or controls the minds of the musicians? And do you wave in the same way at the singers in a choir?  Conductor, choirmaster and Czech Philharmonic oboist Vojtěch Jouza will answer all these questions and will give demonstrations.

At our workshop, you can try out what it's like to be a conductor. Find out how to lead a choir or sing in it. And you might get to conduct a composition of your own.

For this programme, one teacher can order tickets for a maximum of 30 pupils. The minimum number of pupils for the programme is 25.

The programme is based on a musical part but also on a spoken word that will be given in Czech language only. The programme will not be supplied with English subtitles.
