Open Rehearsals offer insight for secondary schools students into the orchestra, conductor and soloists’ preparation for a public performance. Watch the creative process and hear great music come together before a concert. Age recommendation: 14+ or students studying elective music.

Please note that Open Rehearsals are not performances. Sound will need to be kept to a minimum and playing may be paused at various intervals in order for the conductor, soloist and orchestra to agree on specific styles and dynamics. Please also note you will not be able to leave once the session starts as it will disrupt the rehearsal. The finishing times are the start of break times for the orchestra. Students may excuse themselves quietly in 1s or 2s for toilet breaks as needed.

Times and repertoire being rehearsed will be confirmed prior to the rehearsal date, as these schedules are subject to change. Tickets are strictly limited as this is a live rehearsal space. Roughly 20-30 students per school plus teacher/s permitted.
