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.
Experience Steven Isserlis rehearsing Dvořák’s passionate Cello Concerto, one of the best-loved works in the orchestral repertoire.
Unfortunately Jordan de Souza is unwell. We are grateful to Dinis Sousa for stepping in at short notice to conduct Thursday’s concert. Sousa is Principal Conductor of the Royal Northern Sinfonia and of his own Orquestra XXI. You can find out more about him here. The programme remains unchanged.

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.
