Malko Academy for Young Conductors is currently closed. The academy was open to young musicians aged 18-25 and resident in one of the countries mentioned below. The Academy was designed for young musicians with exceptional musical talent and the ability to play a classical musical instrument or to sing at a very high level. Furthermore, applicants were expected to be able to manage time well and should flourish under high demands.
Applicants did not need to have previous experience in conducting, but had to show sufficient promise and were expected to have a strong desire to one day become a top class professional conductor. In the Academy, we focused on giving each student a solid foundation for studying conducting at a major conservatory. Therefore, the academy was not designed for musicians already studying conducting or having semi-professional experience as a conductor.
The entrance examinations to the class 2022-2024 took place in June 2022.
