How does a conductor communicate their interpretation of a piece with an orchestra and the soloist as they prepare for a performance?

Our Open Rehearsals give you access to this creative process and allow you to see the Philharmonia at work. Learn more about the pieces and start to listen to your favourites with a fresh pair of ears.

Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is full of fine textures and challenging passages for all of the Orchestra’s sections – every musician has their moment in the spotlight in this work fizzing with imagination. Follow the Philharmonia and conductor Joana Carneiro working through this important contribution to 20th century repertoire.

Open Rehearsals are not performances. Playing may be paused at various intervals in order for the conductor, soloist and orchestra to agree on specific styles and dynamics.

Open rehearsals will take place in the auditorium where the concert is due to be performed, unless otherwise specified. Times and repertoire being rehearsed will be confirmed prior to the rehearsal date, as these schedules are subject to change.

Concerto and Symphony Friends members can claim their complimentary pair of Open Rehearsal tickets by emailing friends@philharmonia.co.uk.

Please note that open rehearsals are working processes for the conductor and the Orchestra. Timings are subject to change and every endeavour will be made to let ticket holders know in advance about any such changes.
