We are very happy that maestro Oded Shomrony gave a two-day masterclass in choral conducting at Rossi Fest 2018, with two different sessions - individual sessions with maestro Shomrony intended for young conductors, students of conducting, but also students of secondary music schools who want to engage in conducting; whereas the second session - conducting Adi Chor, was intended only for experienced students of conducting and young conductors.
