Beethoven's 9th - come hear Ode to Joy Saturday afternoon...

Here's an update from the Salem Chamber Orchestra:

Didn'’t get tickets to Beethoven’s 9th this weekend?

Both performances of Beethoven's 9th this weekend are completely sold out, and due to this popular demand, SCO will open its final rehearsal to the public. The rehearsal is Saturday, May 1 from 1:30-4pm, in Hudson Hall at Willamette University. General admission tickets will be sold for $5 each at the door. We will accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

Please note that this final rehearsal will not be in concert order; they will begin the rehearsal with the 4th movement of the Beethoven symphony, which is the big choral movement with soloists. Following that, they will rehearse the Dvorak aria "Song to the Moon" with soloist Elizabeth Pullen, and then rehearse through Beethoven’s symphony movements 1-3.

This is a wonderful opportunity to see these professional ensembles rehearse, to hear and see the process of making this amazing music.

Please reply to this email or call 503-480-1128 for questions!
