"I have been to the DSO before, but really enjoyed my first experience at an open rehearsal. Seeing the process and the orchestra dressed down was very humanizing and felt accessible; that’s important. I loved it and want to see more Black people, young people in the audience and on stage. The experience was really special." – Aya Waller-Bey, DSO Patron
