| FREE Open Rehearsal |  This Friday @ The Vets 5:30pm
Guest Conductor Michael Stern will rehearse Ravel's Piano Concerto in G with pianist Joyce Yang and the Philharmonic. The Orchestra will also rehearse Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique and Berlioz' Overture to Benvenuto Cellini.
Open rehearsals run from 5:30-8:00pm as the Orchestra rehearses for the Classical Concert that will take place the following evening. These rehearsals present an opportunity to observe the process of putting together a symphony orchestra concert. The conductor will be miked so that people in the audience can hear his discussion and collaboration with the soloist and members of the Orchestra. Because these are rehearsals and not concerts, there will very likely be stops in the music as the conductor goes over specific sections rather than the Orchestra playing the music straight through from start to finish. There is no guarantee that the Orchestra will rehearse all of the music for the Saturday classical concert. No Tickets necessary |
