ULYSSES Journeys offer young composers, performers and conductors the opportunity to take part in courses,  workshops and residencies, but also to have concrete working experiences, through commissions and concerts.

Divertimento’s Orchestra Conducting Course is dedicated to repertoire for ensemble from the early 20th Century to the present. Conductor Sandro Gorli leads the course and Divertimento Ensemble is the course’s ensemble-in-residence. Conductors benefit from 9 days of lessons, with score analysis, feedback and rehearsals, as well as concerts. After the first day dedicated to score analysis, interpretive directions and any technical conventions in relations with the ensemble, rehearsals are organized as in a normal concert production.

The final concerts will be part of the Rondò in Monferrato and Rondò 2025 musical seasons and will be conducted by different selected participants.

Two conductors will attend the Orchestra Conducting Course in the framework of their ULYSSES Journeys for Conductors. Two performers will attend the Course in the framework of their ULYSSES Journeys for Performers.
