Open Rehearsals
An Open Rehearsal is a fascinating opportunity to watch the North Carolina Symphony at work and see how a piece of music is shaped and polished by the conductor and the musicians.
Students in middle and high school are invited to observe the dress rehearsal for a performance of the North Carolina Symphony in Meymandi Concert Hall. Open Rehearsals begin at 10am and end at approximately 12:30pm. One adult chaperone is required for every ten students. When available, conductors and artists may speak with your students during the break (approx. 11:15am), or following the rehearsal. Please confirm your interest in participating in a Q & A session, and have your students prepared with questions to ask. Rehearsal times are subject to change.
Open rehearsals are available at no charge to educators, but reservations are required. To make a reservation, complete the reservation form.
