This acts as valuable professional development for the guest conductor and builds our international music education community through a sharing of ideas and approaches. AMIS is now compiling a pool of applicants interested in leading a middle school festival. Here is the application procedure. Applications for the next season close 15 May, 2009. - posted 25 February, 2009
