Rehearsing Philadelphia

“Traditional musical preparation focuses on rehearsing as a way to attain perfection, which then gets repeated in performance. This is not how we live modern life in a rapidly changing world of social and political upheaval, faced with pandemic outbreaks and looming environmental catastrophe. The future will be rehearsed, not perfected. Rehearsing Philadelphia re-examines the rehearsal processes as something that can allow people to act together and be empowered to create new realities; as an empathic learning process of transmission and translation, and as itself a mode of knowledge production.” - Ari Benjamin Meyers

One of the four modules, Ensemble, consisted of performances of new and existing repertory by a joint ensemble of Curtis and Drexel students performing together.

Rehearsing Philadelphia enlisted nearly 200 local and international artists, including musicians from the Philadelphia region; students from Drexel and Curtis; and acclaimed composers, creators, and dancers.
