Past season: 2008 Cabrillo Festival

 

Open Rehearsals and Pre-Rehearsal Talks

Open Rehearsals

During Open Rehearsals you truly have the chance to see the music come to life—as the community of Marin, musicians, and composers sculpt their pieces for performance.

Pre-Rehearsal Talks:

Sometimes the smallest details about a piece of music or its composer give you that "lightbulb over the head" feeling, or sparks your interest deeply. In 2008 the Festival will again offer free talks by lecturerers who bring their love and knowledge of the music to informal sessions preceding Open Rehearsals at the Civic Auditorium, and their enthusiasm about music will kindle your own.

Cabrillo Festival 2008 Calendar of Open Rehearsals and Pre-rehearsal Talks:
Please note: The schedule is subject to change without notice. A detailed, updated schedule will be posted at the Civic Auditorium and online as available throughout the Festival. To conserve resources and minimize waste, printed copies will no longer be available.
