This may only apply to those, who're interested in how conductors work.
The Bamberg Symphony Orchestra (internationally famous for their MAHLER-interpretations) have a regularly recurring competition for aspiring conductors. To your surprise it's called the
"Mahler Competition".
(under the patronage of Mahler's granddaughter)
Since no audience is allowed to attend the concert-hall, they put a live-stream online at their facebook-page this year.
I've been watching the first round, which was Monday morning, Monday late-afternoon and today (Tuesday) morning.
Each aspirant has half-an-hour with the orchestra, to practice and play parts (of his/her choice) of two given pieces of music.
I personally find it extremely interesting to watch the different approaches of each person and how they interact with the orchestra.
If you're in for such a thing, you may join the next live-stream starting tomorrow, Wednesday, at 10am, then followed by the next at 5pm [note: this is
CEST – Central European Summer Time!].

My favorites so far are Thomas Jung, Harry Ogg and Katharina Wincor in this order.
