Repertoire

The repertoire for the 2024 course has now been announced, see below for full details.

Full scores and piano scores of the repertoire for this year’s course are now available to download via this Dropbox link.

IAYO can provide participants with a full set of study scores for the cost of printing and postage.

There may be further additions in the coming months to the repertoire.

Please note: When studying the scores, also think about which piece(s) you would like best to conduct and begin to practice these. Only study as much of the music as you feel you can manage well. It’s better to have a small amount well prepared than a larger amount less well prepared.

Participants are not required to learn all the scores.

The full repertoire for the 2024 course is as follows:

• Rossini – ‘Barber of Seville’ Overture
• Beethoven – Symphony No. 5 (First Movement)
• Sibelius – Finlandia
• Grieg – Peer Gynt Suite no. 1

We ask that you begin to study this repertoire before the course begins. If you have only a little experience, or none at all, please focus on:
