Join us for our fourth conducting workshop with young conducting students from the Royal College of Music’s postgraduate course in orchestral conducting. Four student conductors nominated by Toby Purser, Head of Conducting at the RCM, will work on one movement each, under the supervision of Levon Parikian, our Artistic Director. We’ll bring it all together at the end of the day in an Open Rehearsal/informal play through.
Applications are invited for all sections of the orchestra from players at Grade 8-plus, or equivalent.
Nearest stations: South Kensington or Gloucester Road, on the District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines. The 360 bus stops directly outside the college on Prince Consort Road. Buses 9, 23, and 452 stop nearby at the Royal Albert Hall.

All course fees are subsidised by our fundraising activities and fees are further reduced for students. Some bursary funding is available: please enquire when applying for courses. In addition to the general full and part bursaries we offer, we have two specific bursary schemes:
-
Co-Principal Strings Student Bursary scheme
If you are currently studying full-time at a UK conservatoire and would appreciate the opportunity to work intensively on large-scale symphonic repertoire with professional conductors, without the pressure of public performance, at the same time as benefiting directly from the experience of our professional string principals, why not apply for the Co-Principal Strings Student bursary scheme? Successful applicants will be offered a bursary-funded place on one of our London weekend courses as co-principal first or second violin, viola, cello or double bass. A modest contribution to travel costs is available to participants studying outside London.
-
Play ON bursary programme
Our newest bursary programme, Play ON, initiated in 2022 by a grant from the Victoria Wood Foundation, enables us to offer a number of bursary-funded places on London weekend courses to current conservatoire students and recent graduates across all sections of the orchestra, particularly those who studied and/or graduated during the Covid pandemic. A contribution to travel costs is available to all participants.
To apply for these schemes, please email admin@rehearsal-orchestra.org with your CV.
