Final Concert Call Times
We are quickly approaching the end of year concert on Saturday, June 10 and June 11 at Copley Symphony Hall. Please note your ensemble's specific concert and rehearsal times listed below.
Important: there will be regular rehearsals on Saturday, June 10 for Ovation students only, but no rehearsals on Sunday, June 11.
Dress rehearsals are an important part of the concert preparation experience for students so that they adjust to new acoustics in the concert hall.
SDYS provides musicians with call times so they can acclimate to the exciting environment on concert day with peers, and so SDYS staffers will know in advance that the entire ensemble is present and ready for an exciting evening of music making! This is why all s
tudents are required to arrive at their respective call times.
