Ten highly accomplished student musicians from the Sarasota Music Conservatory share the stage with the Perlman Music Program’s Winter Residency Orchestra for an open rehearsal. Conducted by violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman, the event provides a rare window into the meticulous preparation of a professional ensemble. To foster a non-competitive environment, seating rotates with every movement, ensuring all players experience both leading and supporting roles. The session at Church of the Palms highlights Perlman’s teaching methodology and his rigorous yet humorous approach to refining technique.
