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.
Ryan Bancroft established an immediate rapport with Philharmonia players when he worked with us during the pandemic. We look forward to welcoming him back to the Royal Festival Hall stage.

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.
