MTSO Open Rehearsals
Suitable for grades 9–12
Music teachers are invited to bring their students to Roy Thomson Hall for the unique learning opportunity of listening to a professional rehearsal.
Your group will be seated in the choir loft—practically in the orchestra!—watching over and overhearing the musicians as they prepare for the concert. During the rehearsal break, students will even get to talk to a TSO musician and ask them any question they may have about music.
This free and extremely popular program is available to high school music classes only. (It is best suited for aspiring musicians. If your students are not musicians, we strongly recommend introducing them to orchestral music through a School Concert instead.)
Space is limited; only one rehearsal may be booked per school each season.
