Faculty
OAcademy Fellows receive several weekly classes from a faculty which includes conductors, agents, managers, administrators, instrumentalists, and composers. The faculty is led by OAcademy Music Director Carlos Miguel Prieto, OAcademy Principal Guest Conductor Alexander Shelley, and Fellowship Director Scott Wilson.
‘Every time I have the opportunity to work with the fellows I come away enriched by the insightful exchange of ideas, vibrant dialogue about our profession and the serious exploration of the music we all love. Led by a brilliant and passionate group of people, this program is a great generator of inspiration and a superb centre of learning for the modern musician that I am immensely proud to be affiliated with.’
