This course will be in two parts. In the morning, there will be a lecture about the composers, about the pieces that are to be played in the rehearsal, and about the soloists. In the afternoon, the class, as a group, attends the dress rehearsal of the performance. At the dress rehearsal SLO Symphony guest conductor Bruce Kiesling will speak as she conducts, giving background information, musicology, and notes on harmony. With Mr. Kiesling's broad knowledge and stage presence, the dress rehearsal should be fairly comprehensive.

The morning class will be in the SLO Library Conference Room. The concert rehearsal will be in the Christopher Cohan Center in the PAC at Cal Poly.
