Open Rehearsals
Each season the CSO opens several of its working rehearsals to certain groups across Chicagoland.
Education Open Rehearsals
Select rehearsals are open for groups of high school music students and their teacher to observe how a professional orchestra works behind the scenes and prepares for a concert. After the rehearsal, the audience participates in a Q&A session with musicians of the Orchestra.
Community Open Rehearsals
Community rehearsals are open for an audience of seniors and veterans, coordinated by members of the League of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.
