Rehearsal visits for families

Want to experience an orchestra or ensemble up close during a rehearsal? During rehearsal visits for families, children aged 6 and above can join their families to watch professional musicians prepare for their upcoming concert at the Kölner Philharmonie. How does a rehearsal work? What role does the conductor play? And what adjustments still need to be made for the concert? The rehearsal visit offers families a great opportunity to experience musicians up close and gain insights into their rehearsals.
