How does the booking process work?
Complete the digital application form.
Our Education Department will contact you to select a date and confirm registration.
For custom work, we will first send you a quotation. Upon approval, we would like to receive the quotation signed in return.
A email then gives you all the (practical) information you need.
Our offerings are subject to developments and measures regarding Covid-19. We maintain strict protocols for everyone's safety when visiting our rehearsal locations. We will notify you of these. In the case of our musicians visiting school, we would like to be informed of the school's protocol so that we can adjust accordingly.
Combining is possible!
Did you know that it is possible to combine the lesson with other educational activities of ours? In this way you can create a sequence of activities through one or more years of the school. For example: a lesson prior to visiting a performance of the orchestra, where the musician can also go into what will happen during the performance. Or a musician in the classroom in the lower grades, a visit to a performance with the middle grades and a visit to the orchestra's rehearsal in the upper grades. Please indicate if you have additional requests in our booking form. We are happy to think along with you.
