Rehearsal Space
Orchestra members rehearse at the Northampton Senior Center, 67 Conz Street, Northampton (free and ample parking). Summer Sessions are in the same space.
Fall and Spring Season Format
- Our conductors, David Kaynor and Annika Amstutz each lead about half of the rehearsals, though often both are at a rehearsal together.
- One or two rehearsals may be led by a guest each season.
- Rehearsals begin with the orchestra learning a new tune by ear through playing it slowly for many repetitions. A recording and sheet music are added to the website after the rehearsal.
- Spring 2019 season started Thursday, January 17 – with early-bird sign-up until January 1
Spring 2019 Season
