Echo in the Vineyards
Education and Community Outreach Programs
As part of our mission, Music in the Vineyards is dedicated to enriching people’s lives through the power of music, including providing music education and participatory experiences to people of all ages and walks of life.
Check out our expanded roster of programs for this year’s festival. Come learn, play, and enjoy!
Free Open Rehearsals
We offer open rehearsals throughout the festival free of charge for the community. These open rehearsals prove to be really popular every year and aim to give patrons an insight into how the musicians prepare for their performances. Held on Thursday afternoons, the open rehearsals feature repertoire which is to be performed in concerts on the weekend following the rehearsals. We usually have rehearsals taking place in at least two rooms and patrons are welcome to move from room to room during the afternoon. Everyone is welcome regardless of age, there is plenty of seating and the musicians look forward to sharing their work with you.
