Sheet music will be sent for download via a link with the registration confirmation
and distributed in spiral-bound form at the first rehearsal.
Absence from rehearsals is generally not possible. Sheet music will be available online from March 1.

Limited number of participants (maximum 80 contributors). Registration is generally on a first come, first served basis. However, all contributors are expected to listen to the works/songs to be performed before the project begins (the recordings are in the music folder) and to practice all pieces, as well as to continue practicing the works at home in parallel with the orchestra rehearsals. Only if everyone participates with full commitment can the orchestra play very well as a WHOLE.

Contribution towards expenses:
€85 + THANK YOU for your donation, as the contribution towards expenses only covers a very small part of the total costs.
The invoice for the contribution towards expenses will be sent separately by email at the end of May.

If you are unable to participate in the project and cancel after May 27, we will charge a cancellation fee of €40.
