When and where is it?

How will it happen?

During a 45-minute open rehearsal of Sibelius’ Finlandia, people will be able to sit within the orchestra - with their own instruments if they wish - to get a feel for how the instruments sound and how they interact with each other. The Conductor will use the rehearsal process to showcase various instruments of the orchestra and give an insight into the music. After the rehearsal, there will be plenty of opportunity for trying out instruments with APO players & Hickies.

Do I need to book?

There is no need to register for PYO instrument - just turn up.More details available from APO’s Chairman on 0118 926 3856 or visit the website at www.aldworthphilharmonic.org.uk
