Music in Process

Every Curtis Symphony Orchestra rehearsal is a step in the journey towards musical excellence. Following weeks of rehearsal, collaboration, and artistic refinement, Curtis Symphony Orchestra musicians come together for a final reading led by Director of Orchestral Studies James Ross—streamed live from Gould Rehearsal Hall.

As emerging artists prepare for careers on the world’s stages, orchestral projects offer essential opportunities to study, explore, and master great works through hands-on experience. These broadcasts give audiences a front-row seat to the pivotal moment when musicians bring their work together and showcase the raw sound potential from this world-class ensemble. Join us throughout the year to hear how the ensemble develops and grows through Curtis’ learn-by-doing philosophy.

This event is available to stream on demand for 90 days following the livestream date.
