Applications are open for a young conductor to hold a year-long residency with the London Schools Symphony Orchestra (LSSO) thanks to Guildhall Young Artists (GYA) and Black Lives in Music (BLiM).
This is the second year the residency has run for young conductors from under-respresented groups – a scheme that is designed to champion and nurture diverse talent within the orchestra.
The successful applicant will be offered one-to-one mentor support from professional conductors, and will gain experience working with LSSO students during holiday courses.
In addition, they will be involved in a number of areas of the orchestra, attending audition panels, taking sectional rehearsals, and conducting opportunities. The inaugural postholder, Bradley Wilson, conducted Errolyn Wallen’s Mighty River at a concert in Milton Court earlier this year as part of his time in post.
