Open Rehearsals

A behind-the-scenes look at the workings of an orchestra

Join WASO as we throw open the doors, inviting students to join the Orchestra at rehearsal. An optional pre-rehearsal welcome provides an overview of the works and the musicians’ experience preparing for a rehearsal and a performance. Students then join the rehearsal to watch the conductor work with the full Orchestra to put the finishing touches on a mainstage concert.
