Relaxed Open Rehearsal: Classical Roots Educational Concert

Get a behind-the-scenes look as the DSO musicians prepare for their Educational Concert Series. The Classical Roots mission highlights the major contributions African American composers and musicians have made to classical music, and you'll learn about the Civil Rights Movement along the way.

This "relaxed" event is designed for people on the autism spectrum and those with other sensory sensitivities, so there's no need to sit still or stay quiet. The audience size is limited, there's a sensory toolkit with noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets (limited number), a quiet space for breaks, and hands-on activities from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Parking is complimentary, and American Sign Language interpretation is offered. A guide, social story and Spotify playlist help you prepare. Questions go to Kiersten Alcorn, the DSO's Manager of Engagement & Accessibility.
