How Much Does it Cost?

Cost

£340 is all it costs for the week. This takes care of all your needs, including food, accommodation and travel to the concerts, although you may need some money for the bar. Course fees are non-refundable, except in cases of COVID-19.

If you know of a company or individual who will pay half or more of your fee, your benefactor will be named in the programmes as Sponsor of your Chair. (Students often get their parents to sponsor their chair.) Many music colleges will help with the cost of courses, if applied for in good time. We will offer five half price places to people with genuine financial hardships. Contact us for more details.
