FWPhil and ICG Conductor Workshop
Master the Art of Conducting in the Legacy of Ilya Musin
A Prestigious
International Opportunity
Each season, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic partners with the International Conductors Guild to present an intensive conductor training workshop for gifted conductors from across the globe.
The program focuses on the legendary techniques and philosophy of Ilya Musin, one of the most influential conducting teachers of the twentieth century. His teachings continue to shape the world's most revered conductors today.
"This was the most impactful training of my career—an unmatched combination of practical experience and musical mentorship."

The Musin Legacy

• Valery Gergiev
• Yuri Temirkanov
• Semyon Bychkov
• Vassily Sinaisky
• Martin Brabbins
• Sian Edwards
• Ennio Nicotra
• Andrew Constantine (current Fort Wayne Philharmonic Music Director)
Musin's method emphasizes precise gesture, deep musical insight, and clarity of intent—principles at the heart of this workshop.
Led by Andrew Constantine
The 2025 workshop will be directed by Andrew Constantine, Music Director of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and a direct protégé of Ilya Musin.
