Conducting auditions are something that's hard to navigate as each organization and ensemble does look for different things, but no one would disqualify a good conductor!

Typically, an audition for an assistant conductor would be only 10-15 minutes, while a music director audition might be a full rehearsal (2-3 hour), or even a concert cycle consisting 4-6 rehearsals, depending on the ensemble's schedule.

My objective of all conducting auditions is to share my musical ideas with the ensemble while demonstrating a representation of how my typical rehearsal flows.

Some Tips:

Only verbally ask for things that you’ve already shown in your conducting (and not getting)
Refrain from talking too much about the historical background, stories, etc. unless it’s necessarily and absolutely related to your point
Have a structure of the rehearsal, and share it with the musicians
If it’s not good, ask again. Don’t leave things when they are still bad
