Master of Music in Conducting - Orchestral in Eugene United States | University of Oregon

The orchestral conducting program focuses on hands-on experience leading diverse ensembles. Participants direct both the Campus Orchestra and University of Oregon Symphony Orchestra on a weekly basis. Outstanding students may conduct the Eugene Symphony during rehearsals, along with performance opportunities with the Oregon Mozart Players and Eugene Opera. Curriculum covers conducting techniques, score analysis, musical interpretation, and repertoire development.
Faculty mentors guide a carefully chosen group of graduate students through a comprehensive program combining theory, pedagogy, and practical performance. Our two-year master's degrees in choral, orchestral, and wind conducting help seasoned educator-conductors refine their skills.

Each program features an intimate cohort of graduate students collaborating in a dynamic, rigorous, and encouraging setting. For the past decade, every graduate has secured music-related positions or advanced to prestigious doctoral programs.
