Audience Development
Jyväskylä Sinfonia’s audience development aims to make the orchestra's work and its content more familiar for audience. Audience development enables audience to deepen its knowledge about music and the content of it.
Audience development also familiarizes new audience with orchestra's work and, in this way, enhances participation in concerts and all other events orchestra offers. In addition, audience development supports participation and accessibility for the groups that have left out from the activities for several reasons.
Jyväskylä Sinfonia’s audience development consists of:
- Open Dress Rehearsals
- Meet the Artist
- Little Overtures
- Sinfonia on the Move
- Taidetestaajat-project
- School concerts and instrument workshops
Read here what Jyväskylä Sinfonia offers for children and youth.
Open Dress Rehearsals
Jyväskylä Sinfonia offers for pupil and student groups an opportunity to come to follow rehearsals for free of charge. The rehearsals are interesting events to see how conductors and soloists are getting prepared for the concert.
Because the rehearsals are popular, each group can take part to them only once a season. The minimum size for a group is 10 people – unfortunately it is not possible to take in single visitors.
Open Rehearsals in the spring 2024
Wed 6.3. at 10-11
Wed 24.4. at 10-11
Little Overtures
Time to time young music students come to delight concert audience with their playing. Little Overtures are organized in the concert evenings. They are held at the upper lobby in Paviljonki at 5.30pm and are free of charge.
Check Little Overtures' details on our Finnish website.
Sinfonia on the Move
Every spring and autumn, Jyväskylä Sinfonia spreads out for a week to delight people all over the city. During the Sinfonia on the Move week, members of the orchestra perform in a variety of small group configurations in a wide range of venues. The idea is to get into a wide range of spaces close to the everyday lives of city dwellers and to perform in places where the orchestra is not usually seen. The aim is also to reach out to people who do not usually meet Jyväskylä Sinfonia.
In addition to public performances, the musicians also perform several private concerts in schools, kindergartens and old people's homes. All events are free of charge and each performance lasts about 30 minutes. We warmly welcome you to enjoy music in the midst of everyday life!
