THE EVENT IS ON ! GET GOING !   

We have free places for apply ! 

We hold the Danube Conducting Masterclass and  we have some new Rules

 

We think that most of us are in doubts and questions about how to carry on in this situation caused by the Pandemic. We like to be positive, we don’t like to cancel the masterclass,  we like to hold the Danube Conducting Masterclass and we made new rules depending on any potential non expected situation.  

In Hungary it looks like everything is getting back to normal. In the part of the orchestra it looks like we can hold the masterclass. The biggest question is the traveling possibility of the participants. 

 

We made some new rules, and we  try to keep as possible the following rules in our parts, and still the participants' responsibility the traveling and your other expenses.  

 

 It looks now the international travel restriction rules the most possible problem which can affect the masterclass is that somebody plans, but at last can’t come to the masterclass. Because of that here are some changing what would happen on that case:

- If you can’t come you can cancel the masterclass until 13 August :  or we keep your registration fee for next year or  we pay back the registration fee (we just keep the cost of bank transfer)

- If we have 7-16 number of participants who can arrive to the masterclass we keep the masterclass rules as the original plan was.

- If 2-6 number of participants can arrive to the masterclass we need to make restrictions: we reduce the days, but everybody gets 3x 1 hour individual lessons with pianists and the professor, and 80 minutes orchestra time and the best participants will take part in a  30-45 minutes concert.
