Open Rehearsals
Experience your Colorado Symphony as they rehearse and prepare for an upcoming concert! Perfect for music classes, ensembles, or any student curious about the performing arts, Open Rehearsals connect classroom learning with real-world artistry.
Open Rehearsals with the Colorado Symphony offer students and educators a unique educational experience — an insider’s look at how a professional orchestra prepares for performance. Designed for high school and university students, these sessions provide a rare opportunity to observe musicians at work as they collaborate, refine repertoire, and receive direction from world-class conductors.
Throughout the rehearsal, students gain insight into the artistic process, rehearsal techniques, and the discipline behind professional music-making. To further enrich the experience, a post-rehearsal 30-minute Q&A session or a guided backstage tour may be offered.
