Relaxed Open Rehearsal: Oops…I Sang It Again

You get a behind-the-scenes look at the DSO as the musicians prepare for the weekend's concerts. Three vocalists team up with the orchestra for the big pop hits of the millennial queens and girl groups.

This relaxed event is designed for people on the autism spectrum and those with other sensory sensitivities. You don't have to sit still and quiet; joy and excitement out loud are welcome. The audience size is limited to keep crowds down. There's a quiet space for breaks, a sensory toolkit with noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets (limited number), and complimentary parking. DSO staff have been trained by the Mid-Michigan Autism Association. An information guide, social story and Spotify playlist help you prepare.

Hands-on activities run from 9 to 10 a.m. American Sign Language interpretation is offered.
