  • Application Info & Application

  • Welcome to Apply to Side by Side

    All children and youth ca 7–23 years old who are interested in music are welcome to apply to Side by Side.

    There are, however, a limited number of slots for each track and each instrument/vocal part.

    General Application Info - How to Apply

    The application for Side by Side looks different for different tracks. Common to all tracks is the following:

    • You must be at least 16 years old to apply on your own, otherwise an adult must apply
    • Only children/young people who play/sing should apply.
    • Accompanying adults should not be included in the initial application – if you receive a positive admission notice, adults should be added in the final booking
    • Indicate how many (if any) are applying for accommodation – any accompanying adults that you plan to add in the final booking should be added here
    • The application itself is free, if you get a place you pay a participation fee
    • If you are applying for participants who want to participate in different tracks, a separate application is required for each track
    • If you want to change anything in your application after you have submitted it, you can contact us at sidebyside@gso.se

    Side by Side offers something for most people, but it is important that you choose the right track when you apply.

    Here are tips on how to do that! 

    Which Track Should I Choose?

    Use the track pyramid to get a quick overview of the age and level of the different tracks. It is important that you talk to your instrument teacher/choir conductor about the repertoire to decide which track is right for you. More detailed information and repertoire can be found on the respective track page.
