HIGH SCHOOL FAMILY PROGRAM

The Honors Performance Series Family Programs allow supporters to stay in London with their Finalist and attend select program events that are otherwise closed to non-performers, such as a select rehearsal, touring with Finalists, and the Finalist Celebration. A priority ticket to the Honors Performance at Royal Festival Hall is included in both Family Program packages—additional non-priority tickets are also available to the public through the Royal Festival Hall box office.
