Choral conducting

The study of choir conducting at the JAMU offers unique conditions for the development of future choir conductors. Students have their own practice choir, regularly attend rehearsals of professional ensembles in Brno and participate in master classes under the guidance of leading experts. They also actively participate in the preparation of opera productions of the National Theatre Brno.
