MIDDLE SCHOOL | Carnegie Hall
Family Programs
Being selected to perform at Carnegie Hall and traveling to New York City are experiences worth sharing! We are pleased to offer two Family Programs to allow loved ones to take part in the Series with their Junior Finalist.
Parents, family members, and friends are welcome to join selected Junior Finalists by opting for one of our Family Programs or by purchasing individual tickets to the performance.
Family members, friends, and educators are invited to join their student performers by selecting one of the Honors Family Programs. These programs have been designed to enable supporters to stay in New York City with their Junior Finalist and attend select program events that are otherwise closed to non-performers (a rehearsal, guided sightseeing, touring with Junior Finalists, entry to the Junior Finalist Celebration, etc.). A priority ticket to the Honors Junior Performance itself is included in both Family Programs.
Note: Family Programs are offered only as full programs and cannot be sold as individual components.

Family Program Itineraries
The two Family Programs are designed to allow family, friends, and educators to share in a fuller Honors Performance Series experience, while also providing additional time to explore New York City. Since most Series rehearsals are closed, there are other activities and free time included in the Family Programs to supplement your time. Both itineraries provide an opportunity to experience the best of the sights and culture in New York City. Please note that all itineraries are tentative and subject to change.
