Open Rehearsal Attendance Policy

Age Restrictions

Open Rehearsals are for individuals 14 years and older who are studying or have a deep interest in classical music. Individuals under the age of 14 will be turned away. Exceptions may be made for younger students—typically middle school band or orchestra members—who can remain attentive and respectful throughout the rehearsal. If you are unsure whether your group meets the age requirement, please contact us at communityeducation@coloradosymphony.org before submitting a reservation request.

Behavioral Expectations

To maintain a focused and respectful environment, all attendees must follow these guidelines during the rehearsal:

Remain quiet and attentive throughout the rehearsal
Refrain from talking, using cell phones, or engaging in disruptive behavior
Eating and drinking inside the hall is prohibited
Limit entering and exiting the hall during the rehearsal

A 20-minute break will occur approximately 90 minutes into the rehearsal. You are welcome to use this time to visit the restroom or leave the hall early if needed.

Please Note: The Colorado Symphony reserves the right to ask individuals or groups to leave if behavioral expectations are not met. No refunds will be issued in such cases.

Audience Interaction

Each conductor, musician, and guest artist brings a unique personality to the rehearsal. Some enjoy engaging with the audience, while others prefer to focus quietly on the work at hand. While interaction is never guaranteed, please know that your presence is appreciated — even if it’s not directly acknowledged. Rehearsal time is dedicated to preparation, and every moment is valuable.

Scheduled Repertoire

Please note that all repertoire and the order of rehearsal are subject to change. The focus of each rehearsal is determined by the needs of the musicians and conductor as they prepare for upcoming performances.

Guest Artists

Guest artists may or may not be present at Open Rehearsals, depending on the rehearsal schedule and their role in the program. Their participation is not guaranteed.

Q&A Sessions and Tours

Q&A sessions and backstage tours are offered based on availability and are subject to change. These experiences may be modified or canceled due to scheduling needs or unforeseen circumstances. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.
