ORCHESTRA CONDUCTING
Orchestra Conducting is the core and main area of the IMMC. Directed by Maestro Miguel Ángel Gómez-Martínez, this area endorses the methodologies of the Vienna School (University of Music and Dramatic Art of Vienna) advocated by the legendary Professor Hans Swarovsky, of whom Gómez-Martínez is direct successor. In its development all interwoven areas will converge towards the final objective: the direction of symphonic concerts and operas. GMIF will award the I International Orchestra Conducting Prize to the Active Participant who demonstrates greater technical, academic and artistic excellence.
ORCHESTRAL TRAINING
The Orchestra Training area is not only an artistic challenge of great importance, a specialized training for instrumentalists who wish to be part of a symphony orchestra and an unprecedented call as well, but it also represents the chance of celebrating the link between different cultures represented by the musicians themselves.

Active Participants of this area will become members of the Young International Philharmonic Orchestra (YIPO) which will be performing the symphonic concerts of the CMIM and the opera chosen in concert version.
