Before our 2025/26 series in Portsmouth draws to a close, join the BSO team for a celebratory tipple as we reflect on our favourite moments from the season. There will also be an opportunity to watch the Orchestra in their short final rehearsal ahead of Mahler’s Fifth.

Head into the concert hall from approximately 5.00pm* for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Orchestra under the baton of conductor Karl-Heinz Steffens. Afterwards, from 5.45pm, enjoy a complimentary drink with the BSO team in the Zodiac Gallery. If you’re unable to attend the open rehearsal, you’re still most welcome to join us for the pre-concert reception.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

*Timings are approximate, with the length of the rehearsal at the conductor’s discretion. The rehearsal may be subject to change or cancellation at short notice, but we will endeavour to contact anyone who has booked to attend should any significant changes occur. In light of this, please let us know if you intend to join us for the open rehearsal.
