This free, relaxed open rehearsal gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the DSO as the musicians prepare for the Young People's Family Concert.
When does a piano hop like a kangaroo, a violin bray like a donkey, and a cello swim like a swan? In Carnival of the Animals, of course! Through playful poems and Saint-Saëns’s beloved music, the orchestra brings nature’s most amazing creatures to life! Guaranteed to engage and inspire imaginations of all ages.
"Relaxed" events are designed for individuals on the autism spectrum and with other sensory sensitivities. Our culture can be unforgiving if you're unable to conform to the standard concert etiquette of quietly sitting still for extended periods. This excludes individuals who are unable to sit still or who may express emotions such as joy or excitement through vocalization. This relaxed open rehearsal aims to remove barriers, allowing everyone to be themselves and enjoy a musical experience in a safe and judgement-free environment.
