Welcome to ICA Milan – Where Conducting is born, where Art lives. At ICA Milan, emerging conductors encounter music in its truest form: demanding, vibrant, profoundly human. Here you learn to conduct by listening, to lead with respect, to create while honouring each voice. More than training, it’s a vision. More than technique, it’s an artistic conscience. Because conducting is not just a gesture: it’s responsibility, an act of the soul. Welcome to where art is present. At ICA you will find only a great orchestra, not pianos. The admission exam with orchestra will be held at the Teatro degli Arcimboldi, Milano, on October 4, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. with the following program: MOZART: Don Giovanni, Overture DVORAK: Symphony No. 8 in G major, op.88
