This is what I’m talking about- Foster Beyers, a fairly regular commenter at Vftp and fine conductor, has submitted his list. It sounds like the conducting program at Minnesota must be a sweet setup for them to do so much opera. Thanks for contribuing, Foster.

Keep those lists coming!

Hello Ken,   My name is Foster Beyers. I am a doctoral conducting student at the University of Minnesota. I have only included repertoire below which I have actually conducted in performance in the year 2009. It happens that includes alot of opera (excerpts and one complete) because our program is heavily involved with the University Opera Theater. It also includes rep from the University Campus Orchestra, a non-major ensemble of which I share conducting responsibilities with my colleagues, a Summer Orchestra, and my conducting recital which consists of whoever I can find willing to play for me! I also have a few works for wind band since I conduct a community concert band
