Open Rehearsals
The all-online PMF Connects ~2020 Summer Festival~ has come to a close. We are grateful to all who participated and sincerely hope it was an enjoyable experience.
Some of the music presented will remain online, and we will continue updating the site with more content moving forward!
"PMF Open Rehearsals" provide opportunities for the general public to observe the PMF Orchestra Academy's regular rehearsals, led by outstanding international artists. We hope that you will enjoy seeing the Academy members work hard at making music in an environment with a distinctly different feel from a performance.

For participants

- There is no microphone on the stage, and it may be difficult to hear the conductor.
- There is no interpreter available at the rehearsals. Rehearsals are in English.
- Rehearsals are subject to change/cancellation. Please check the website for up-to-date information.
- All photography, and audio/video recording are strictly prohibited. If this rule is violated, the recorded data must be surrendered, and the violator will be asked to leave and will not be allowed to reenter the program.
- Rehearsal times are subject to change.
- Rehearsals may be canceled, or their times changed, due to unavoidable circumstances.
- Please consider bringing a jacket or sweater in light of the air-conditioned environment and possibly cool weather.
