SIDE BY SIDE 2020
International Youth Orchestra and Choir Camp
Gothenburg 13–17 June
INFORMATION REGARDING THE CORONA VIRUS
A lot is happening in the world right now due to the new corona virus covid-19. The future is uncertain, but here at Side by Side we are still busy preparing this year’s camp, while we closely monitor things as they develop, and await further recommendations from the authorities.
We are planning for different eventualities, but our ambition is to go through with the camp one way or another, depending on how the summer may look. Side by Side’s cancellation policy remains the same, which means participants have until May 4 to cancel their sign-up/application with a full refund of their participation fee.
This is a challenging time, but we are sure to emerge stronger together. At Side by Side, we want to use music to build bridges between people, cultures, and continents—rarely has it ever been as important as it is now.
Take care of yourselves and each other, and let the music unite us!
Warm regards // The Side by Side team

- NEW TRACKS OF THE YEARWIND & STRING ORCHESTRA is the new track for you who play string, woodwind, brass or percussion instruments. It's divided into string orchestra and brass band respectively, and will give you a deeper understanding of how your section operates. The track is a good preparation for later applying to PRE-ADVANCED ORCHESTRA.
PRE-UPPER VOICES CHOIR is a slightly more musically challenging track than CHILDRENS' CHOIR, and the perfect preparation before you move up to UPPER VOICES CHOIR. RUM SUPPORT SIDE BY SIDE
