Songs from the original medieval manuscript of 'Carmina burana'
ORFF Carmina burana
Boston Symphony Orchestra is pleased to continue it's High School Open Rehearsal program for the 2008-2009 season. Students will become a part of the rehearsal experience during these in -depth morning sessions. The day begins at 9:30am with a discussion given by a BSO musician, featured composer, or conductor. This is followed by an insider's view of an actual BSO rehearsal during which students will hear and view the conductor from the point of view of the orchestra, thorough a special on-stage screen. The rehearsal is followed by further discussion with the conductor. Students will leave with a greater understanding of the rehearsal process, as well as an appreciation of the effort and talent needed to refine a performance.
