MIDDLE SCHOOL | ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL

Family Programs

Being selected to perform at Royal Festival Hall and traveling to London 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 London with their 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; additional non-priority tickets will also be made available to the public.

Note: Family Programs are offered only as full programs and cannot be sold as individual components.

Registration Details

  • Each registrant must complete the online Registration Form and agree to the Family Program Terms and Conditions.
  • A $295 deposit is required with registration.
  • Each family member wishing to register for a Family Program (excluding the Junior Finalist) must register individually.
  • If a Family Program participant is under 18 years old, the registration form must also be signed by a parent/guardian.
  • Family Program participants under 22 may attend only if accompanied by a participant aged 22 or older. For safety reasons, Junior Finalists may not leave their Chaperone unless checked out by an authorized adult above the age of 25.
  • Junior Finalists should not register for the Family Program. They have been automatically registered for the Junior Finalist program through the application and selection process.

2020 registration is now closed. Please check back in March for 2021 Family Program details and registration.

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 London. 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 London. Please note that all itineraries are tentative and subject to change.
