Behind the scenes at Eastern Music Festival

On Monday evening, July 11, we will attend the rehearsal of the Eastern Festival Orchestra, led by the student conducting scholars in works by Weber, Rossini, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Brahms, Beethoven, Berlioz and Dvorák. This will be the first rehearsal of the scholars with the orchestra. The rehearsal is free.

Scott Flavin, violinist with the Eastern Festival Orchestra and Resident Conductor for The Henry Mancini Institute of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, will be available to speak with us about conducting and making orchestral music.

Two weeks later, on July 25, we will attend the performance of these works, again conducted by the scholars.

Join us for dinner at 5:30 pm at Green Valley Grill for some pre-rehearsal socializing.
