Open rehearsals (2013-)
It is exciting for everyone, and for young children in particular, to experience the preparations for a concert.
This is why we invite children in Greek state schools to attend selected Athens State Orchestra rehearsals free of charge. This gives our young friends a unique opportunity to see for themselves how the Orchestra goes about the business of making music, while gaining a fuller appreciation of the need for cooperation between individual musicians who are called upon to play as a homogeneous ensemble, and being brought into contact with key works from the serious music repertoire.
The programme is implemented in cooperation with the teachers from the schools involved, who are informed about the programme in detail. KOA musicians welcome the groups on their arrival at the Concert Hall and induct them into the spirit of the concert.
