Attend a Relaxed Open Rehearsal


 





The Detroit Symphony Orchestra invites you to join us at Orchestra Hall in Midtown Detroit for three FREE, fun-filled mornings of activities and music at our Relaxed Open Rehearsals that provide a behind-the-scenes look at how orchestras prepare for their concerts, designed to reduce barriers for people on the autism spectrum and with other sensory sensitivities.

*	Tuesday, November 18, 2025: Educational Concert Series - Dvořák’s “New World Symphony," recommended for elementary and middle school students, but can be enjoyed by all ages

Rehearsal Schedule


 





*	9 AM: Hands-on activities begin. Activities may include: instrument exploration—touch and play various instruments, playful percussion—explore movement and soft percussion instruments, notes to the musicians, coloring, make an instrument, and more.
*	10 AM: Activities end, and rehearsal begins. There is one 15-minute break during rehearsal, but attendees are free to come and go as needed throughout.
