Digital Conductor Summer School

Details have been released for a 'Digital Conductor Summer School' with Allan Withington. The critically acclaimed course will be led by Allan with administrative support from Anja Abma, six students at a time can take part over selected as well as follow up teaching links during the Autumn.
