Open Rehearsals Live performances are the result of hours and hours of rehearsal and preparation. To get a better understanding of the work involved in creating a symphonic concert, we've arranged for special "open rehearsals," where students (grades 7-12) can have a behind-the-scenes experience with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Students are greeted upon their arrival by the DSO's Education Director, Jamie Allen, and given an "open rehearsal orientation," where students learn fascinating features of the building, the artists, and the music, as well as a primer on Open Rehearsal etiquette.
Open Rehearsal Schedule for the 2010-11 Season
Open rehearsals are scheduled for certain Thursday mornings throughout the season. Orientation starts at 9:30, and the rehearsal starts at 10. Please call Carolyn Jabr at (214) 871-4083 to confirm schedule and make a reservation.
