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 intimate 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.
Princesses, princes, sailors, ships and storms: learn how conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky brings the stories of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade to life.

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.
Tickets must be booked in advance. Please contact the Friends team if you are a patron entitled to a complimentary ticket.
