      INTERNATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA AND CHOIR CAMP

      19–23 JUNE 2021

    • 2021 OPEN FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

      The Expression of Interest replaces the application and the sign-up form for all tracks.

      Welcome to Side by Side, a music camp for you who are about 6–23 years old and who love to sing in a choir or play in an orchestra. The camp is divided into different tracks that you are welcome to participate in depending on your interests and circumstances.
      There is something for everyone.

      2020 has been a challenging year in many ways, but we believe in the uniting force of music. Right now, it's more important than ever for children and young people to have something to look forward to! Therefore, it is with great joy and humility that we announce our ambition to realize Side by Side 2021.

       

      The next camp is planned for June 19–23, 2021 and you are welcome to submit your Expression of Interest until February 7. Our goal is that all our music tracks will be represented, but we will have to get back to you about the exact number of participants we are able to receive. Your Expression of Interest works as an application and the slots will be as fairly and evenly divided as possible. In other words, "first come first served" will not be applied this year.

       

      Side by Side: Digital 2020 was a great success and in your Expression of Interest for 2021 you can state if you would like to attend the camp on location in Gothenburg and/or if you would like to participate in the digital camp.

       

      Already, we are able to present a large part of the repertoire for our music tracks! We hope the material will be of great use to you in your work as an orchestra leader, pedagogue and choir leader, and that it will be valuable practice material for you as a participant.

       

      Side by Side, at its core, is about building bridges between people, cultures and continents, and of course that's what we want to keep on doing. Take care of yourselves, and let the music unite us!

       

      Side by Side 2021 Expression of Interest is open December 2, 2020–February 7, 2021.
