MUSIKVEREIN
Family Programs
Selection as a Finalist is a significant honor for which students and their families alike should be extremely proud. We are pleased to offer two Family Packages to enable loved ones to share in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Parents, family members, and friends are welcome to join selected Finalists by enrolling in one of our Family Programs or by purchasing individual tickets to the performance.
The Honors Family Programs have been designed to enable supporters to stay in Vienna with their Finalist and attend select program events that are otherwise closed to non-performers (a rehearsal, Vienna events, touring with Finalists, Finalist Celebration, etc.). A priority ticket to the Honors Performance at the Musikverein is included in both Family Program itineraries; additional non-priority tickets are also available to the public through the Musikverein box office.
Note: Family Programs are offered only as full packages and cannot be sold as individual components.
Registration Details
- All Finalists will be given the opportunity to enroll loved ones in the Series Family Programs via their my.honorsperformance.org performer portal.
- Family Program participants under 22 may attend only if accompanied by a participant aged 22 or older. For safety reasons, Finalists may not leave their Chaperone unless checked out by an authorized adult above the age of 25.
- Finalists should not register for the Family Program. They have been automatically registered for the Finalist program through the application and selection process.
- Enrollment in the Family Program is subject to the same program Terms and Conditions and Standard Cancellation Policy acknowledged during the Finalist's online enrollment.
Family Program Itineraries
The two Family Programs are designed so family, friends, and educators can share in a fuller Honors Performance Series experience, while also providing additional time to explore Vienna. Since most Series rehearsals are closed, there are other activities and free time included in the Family Program packages to supplement your time. Both itineraries provide an opportunity to experience the best of the sights and culture in Vienna. Please note: All itineraries are tentative and subject to change.
