Sacramento State School of Music

The NorCal Wind Conducting Symposium, founded by Dr. Robert Halseth at Sacramento State in June 1994, is back for its 29th year in 2026! Open to adult conductors, the six-day Symposium will provide a safe, nurturing environment of professional development in which to improve conducting skills, rehearsal techniques, and wind literature awareness. There are still spots open for performing conductors and observers!

Work one on one with our Guest Artist Clinician, Dr. John Lynch, and our current Sacramento State Director of Bands, Dr. Matthew Morse.
