The masterclasses and the final concert will be streamed live on YouTube, and the audience will be able to vote for the audience favourite immediately after the final concert.

Once again this year, the Conductors’ Academy will conclude with a concert in which the young conductors will conduct the works they have prepared in the masterclasses over the preceding days under the guidance of Music Director Paavo Järvi. The programme features orchestral works by Beethoven, Shostakovich and Johann Strauss Jr., whilst Sabine Poyé Morel and Sarah Verrue will perform as soloists in Mozart’s Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra. At the end, an audience prize will be awarded – and Paavo Järvi will decide who receives the scholarship and an invitation to his Pärnu Music Festival.
