FAQ: Can I register as an observer if I have not been shortlisted as a conducting participant?
Due to a limited number of slots for conducting participants, we will inform you via email after the registration closing date whether you have been shortlisted to participate in the conducting masterclass as an active participant. You may then proceed to let us know if you would like to observe throughout the Conducting Seminar as on observer, and the fees for observers will be payable upon confirmation.
