The George Hurst Conductors’ Course
George Hurst made an immense impression on orchestral conducting in the last half of the 20th century. He was enormously admired for his musical integrity and for his outstanding ability to foster the talents of emerging conductors.
As a teacher at the Sherborne Summer School of Music (formerly Canford) and the Royal Academy of Music he taught many now famous names including Sir Simon Rattle, Sir Andrew Davies, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Mark Wigglesworth and his name is associated with remarkable regularity as the teacher who set many aspiring young conductors on careers of note.
The George Hurst Conductors’ Course is internationally recognised as one of the foremost summer programmes for training conductors. Students from intermediate to advanced levels are invited to hone their craft through practical experience and tuition that is focused on their individual needs.
