Closer Encounters

In an open rehearsal setting, experience close encounters with artists and music. This series is fun and informal, free and open to the public.

The Closer Encounters series was initiated in 2006 as a way of giving audience members a "behind the scenes" look at the artists' process during rehearsals. Combining open rehearsals with an educational introduction and a question and answer period, participants have a chance to interact with the artists, learn more about the music and gain a deeper insight into each piece. When these works are heard later, fully developed in concert performances, the music becomes a new and exciting experience for the listener.

Join us for this engaging and inspiring series – all followed by refreshments!
