During the Lancaster Symphony's nationally recognized Open Rehearsals with Lido, attendees gain new insights into a symphony orchestra as well as the music being rehearsed! Pre-rehearsal “chats” take place before the rehearsal and are a time when attendees may ask questions of Grammy nominee and Music Director, Stephen Gunzenhauser and the featured guest artist.
Hosted by Director of Community Engagement, Nancy LeVasseur, this informal discussion gives all who attend a deeper appreciation and understanding of the life of a career soloist.
When the rehearsal begins, Lido, the Lancaster Symphony's animated conductor's baton, is used in a PowerPoint presentation to give ongoing commentary as well as his own personal opinion about the music. Projected on two screens adjacent to the orchestra, this light-hearted character makes the afternoon educational, informative and lots of fun for students and adults alike!
On-line study guide materials are available on line to help attendees prepare for the afternoon’s rehearsal. Click here
Each attending student receivesa PARENT/STUDENT ticket voucher to use at any time during the orchestra’s current concert season. (Buy one student ticket and bring an adult for free.) Complimentary ticket vouchers are also given to each music educator, club representative or coordinating parent who attends an Open Rehearsal while bringing a group of 10 or more.
