If this is your case, please indicate the names of your partners and the pieces you want
to work on (see registration form under “other remarks for the organisers”).
It is also possible to register as an individual, but the registration will only be confirmed if we manage to form a consistent group with other participants (in terms of playing levels), and to find a suitable score.
The registration will be confirmed upon payment of the full fee. Cancellation is free until September 15. After this date, we will not be able to provide any refund, as we will have to hire a professional musician as a substitute.
