The San Antonio Philharmonic invites school groups of middle, high school and college age to attend free-admission Open Rehearsals on select weekday mornings at the First Baptist Church of San Antonio. Students will see and hear how a professional ensemble rehearses while being exposed to masterpieces of our Classics Series repertoire and world-class guest artist performances.
Open Rehearsals reservations are open only to educators. Open Rehearsals are designed only for students grades 6 and above (age 11+). We respectfully discourage attendance of children under age 11. Programming is subject to change. ALL GROUPS MUST RESERVE IN ADVANCE.

Open Rehearsal ushers will not be checking ID, but reservation in advance is required. Groups or individuals not appearing on the reservation list on rehearsal day will not be admitted to the auditorium. Only adults who are accompanying students will be admitted to Open Rehearsals, such as in the case of teachers, parents and chaperones. Attendance of children below middle school age is discouraged. Every attendee, regardless of age, must be included in your total ticket count.
