Very Open Rehearsals 2024

Very Open Rehearsals

Very Open Rehearsals are back this season!
A VOR is a fascinating opportunity to watch WCMS at work and see how a piece of music is shaped and polished.  Performed in private homes, they include dinner and wine following the rehearsal. It is truly an engaging and enlightening experience.
