Open Rehearsals

Open Rehearsals begin at 9:45 AM (except where noted) in Avery Fisher Hall, and end at approximately 12:30 PM (sometimes extending to 1 PM, at the discretion of the conductor).

An Open Rehearsal is a fascinating opportunity to watch the New York Philharmonic at work, and see how a piece of music is shaped and polished by the conductor and the musicians. Tickets are $16 each and can be ordered online, by phone, by mail, by fax, or in person at the Avery Fisher Hall Box Office. Please note there is a $2.00 per ticket handling fee for all online orders and a $6.00 per ticket handling fee for all phone orders.
