Open Rehearsals

Open Rehearsals offer community members of all ages a free and unique opportunity to view a working symphonic rehearsal. As the musicians work on particular passages, attendees get a behind-the-scenes look at how a performance moves from a work in progress to a work of art. LSO Open Rehearsals are free, have general seating, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
