Homecoming Weekend Open Rehearsal: October 4th, 10am-2pm!

Join us for the first-ever Cornell Orchestras Homecoming Celebration! This special event will be a drop-in event taking place on Saturday, October 4th from 10am to 2pm in Bailey Hall. We invite the Cornell community, especially Orchestras alumni, to enjoy an open dress rehearsal, where you'll get an exclusive preview of the exciting repertoire we're preparing for our first concert the following Sunday. Don’t miss the mid-rehearsal reception at 11:30am either, where you’ll get to meet current members of the Orchestras and share in the spirit of our musical community. Sign up here if you plan to attend. Hope to see you there!
