Conducting Fellows
Each year Sydney Philharmonia Choirs offers two aspiring conductors the opportunity to immerse themselves in choral/orchestral repertoire for 12 months, mentored by experienced conducting professionals and learning to lead rehearsals and prepare for performances.
Sydney Philharmonia Choirs has become a central feature of Sydney’s cultural landscape, performing concerts, advocating for choral singing, and commissioning composers for over 100 years. SPC is a Resident Company at the Sydney Opera House, long-term Chorus for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, as well as running its own self-promoted concert series every year. These Fellowships present an invaluable opportunity for two conductors to immerse themselves in this rich musical landscape, at the forefront of classical music-making in this country and to be guided by recognised figures in the industry.
In 2025, SPC’s Conducting Fellows are Michael Bradshaw and Ezra Hersch.

“It’s been so valuable to learn from outstanding conductors, explore unique repertoire, and be part of such a warm and supportive community.”
