A "Window of Opportunity", is what we had the past week. Corona restrictions are growing again, travel bans valid in Hungary from today. However, last week (the warmest week of the summer in Budapest), it was still possible for 9 young conductors to conduct and learn from Maestro Jorma Panula and his assistant, Huba Hollókői, with the help of the wonderful MÁV Symphony Orchestra. Till next year!

Earlier this week we have received the news that due to the increasing number of Covid-19 cases around Europe, Maestro Panula is not recommended to travel by his doctor. Maestro Panula has just turned 90 years old, and because of his age, he is particularly at risk while travelling by airplane.
However, Maestro Panula is keen to hold the Masterclass and teach, if not personally, with the help of the internet. After consultation with him and the management of the orchestra, we agreed that we go ahead: Maestro Panula will be broadcasted live the sessions with the orchestra in the mornings, and he will give feedback and lectures, online, in the afternoons.
Besides that, on spot in Budapest, conductor Huba Hollókői, former student of Maestro Panula will work as assistant professor.
