orchestra rehearsal
Symphony group practice
An orchestra rehearsal is a practice session where orchestra members work through pieces under the conductor's direction before a performance.
Unlike concerts, rehearsals involve stopping to fix problems, refining dynamics, and synchronizing sections: The conductor called an extra orchestra rehearsal to work on the finale.
Rehearsals range from sectionals (strings only, brass only) to full run-throughs.
