Victoria Symphony invites middle and high school classes to a rehearsal at the University of Victoria to give students a behind the scenes look at how a professional orchestra rehearses and hear the full orchestra up-close. During the break, students will have a chance to meet some of the musicians of the orchestra for a Q & A.
