How a Conductor Works

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a world-class orchestra? Join us for the Swire Music for Everyone open rehearsal series – a chance to experience the HK Phil in action as they prepare for performance. These free events offer a rare glimpse into the rehearsal process, where conductor and musicians shape the music together in real time.

 

Hosted by our insightful presenter Jimmy Shiu, each session offers a unique opportunity to witness the dynamic collaboration between conductor and orchestra. You’ll gain insight into how professional musicians work together to bring the score to life – refining details and building the performance from the ground up.

 

Come and watch the music take shape – it’s a fascinating, informal way to deepen your appreciation for orchestral performance!
