Open Rehearsals

Years of practice and hours of preparation go into each of LAMF's world-class performances. Now, you are initiated to join our ensembles at our new summer home in Brainerd for open rehearsals, giving you a glimpse of the process from the initial read-through to the final performance.

Each open rehearsal is preceded by an informal discussion with one of our featured artists in the Gichi-ziibi Center lobby 45 minutes prior to the rehearsal. Rehearsals begin at either 2 or 3 p.m. in the Concert Hall; please stay as long as you wish.

No charge; no tickets required.
