B-Sides
For Ages 18+ | On Sale Now!
Tuesday, February 9, 2027 ● 7:00 PM
This is your chance to sit "B-Side" a musician from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra as you work through favourite pieces from the classical repertoire. You’ll get a unique behind the scenes glimpse of a real orchestra at work while playing music along with the pros! If you're an instrumental musician – or you used to play and thought those days were behind you – it’s time to bring out your orchestral instrument.
Join the ESO on stage at the Winspear Centre for an evening rehearsal, led by ESO Music Director Jean-Marie Zeitouni!
Please note: This is a closed event, and we do not permit guests or audience members beyond the participants to attend. Registrants for the event must be 18+ and should not be actively pursuing a music degree.
