$16 open rehearsals at NY Philharmonic all season

It’s not Carnegie Hall, but it is practice, practice, practice.

The New York Philharmonic opens its doors on select weekday mornings to let an audience watch its open rehearsals at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center.

This week’s offering is no less than Emanuel Ax playing Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto.

All tickets cost $16 (plus service fees.) Performances always start at 9:45 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. or as late as 1 p.m.
