Open rehearsals
This season the London Arts Orchestra are offering young musicians the opportunity to sit in on an orchestral rehearsal.
The students would get the chance to see how the orchestra works together and the levels of professionalism and dedication that are needed to be an orchestral musician.
A rehearsal space will need to be provided by the school in order for this to happen, if the school has a large hall or theatre then this would be the ideal location for the open rehearsal to take place. If the school does not have a large enough space then arrangements can be made for the students to come to the concert venue on the day of the concert and watch the final rehearsal.If you would like to give your students the opportunity to see behind the scenes of an orchestral rehearsal please contact me to arrange details.
