Open Rehearsals

Music lovers are invited to observe the dress rehearsal for a performance of the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra in Ruby Diamond Auditorium and watch our conductor candidates interact with the orchestra.  An adult chaperone is required for every student under the age of 14. When available, conductors and artists may speak with to attendees during the break or following the rehearsal.
