I am not a current Conservatorium student, can I still participate in Music week?
Answer:
Yes, absolutely you can! We are excited about having our community participate and have created a community pass which will give you access to the the vast majority of the program. The cost of this pass is $65.00 which we believe is excellent value for the number of programs that can be accessed during Music Week. This pass also also includes a parent observer ticket to all events for students under 18 years of age. The only exclusions on this pass are the following:
- Accompaniment sessions (1 to 1 Conservatorium students only)
- Premier Ensembles Concert on Friday 5th July which is a separately ticketed event that occurs four times a year
