Inside the rehearsal
Watch the music get made.
Before a concert becomes a concert, it is eighty people in a room solving problems. We open the doors and let you watch.

What happens
More fun than the concert. Sometimes.
A finished performance hides all the work. A rehearsal shows it—the passage taken apart and put back together, the balance argued over, the moment a phrase finally clicks. You hear the piece before it is polished, and then you hear what polishing sounds like.
Wine first
Complimentary wine and treats before things begin. Come early, stay for the conversation.
Then the briefing
Aaron and guests sit down and talk through the music—what to listen for, why it was written, what makes it hard.
Then the room works
Stay and watch the orchestra shape the piece. No performance manners required—this is the workshop, not the show.
Who can come
It depends on the rehearsal.
Some are open to anyone holding a ticket to that concert. Others are a thank-you for the donors and subscribers who make the season possible.
The details for each rehearsal are listed above and on the concert page. If you are not sure, call us—we would rather you ask than miss one.
