• We highly recommend that all participants are vaccinated. If the Danish government at the time of the festival requires us to check vaccination status we will have to adapt to this. An EU Vaccination Certaficate or similar might be needed.
• Do not enter the festival area if you feel sick or show symptoms of Covid 19. This responsibility is yours and yours only.
• We recommend that all non-vaccinated festival participants get tested before arrival and during the festival.
• You are welcome to wear a mask, but it is not a demand.

How many workshops can I sign up for?
There is a limit of five workshops per participant, but if you like you can of course also choose just two, three or four workshops during the festival – there is only a maximum limit of five workshops. Please note: Choosing to participate as an audience member at the competition will count as a workshop choice.
How are the workshops distributed?
The workshops are distributed after the first come, first served principle
Are the workshops specifically for singers on a beginner level?
The workshops are for singers on all levels – from beginners to pro’s
The sign-up system did not work when I made my choices and now my first priority is not available anymore – can I join my first choice after all?
You might be able to change your priorities in the workshop sign-up, contact flexminds at support@flexminds.dk
I didn’t get my first priority workshop, can I get a refund on my ticket?
No, unfortunately, we cannot make a refund, but it is possible for you to give your ticket to someone else.
If we apply for coaching are we then guaranteed a coaching session?
Unfortunately, you are not guaranteed coaching session as there may not be enough coaching sessions for all the groups that apply.
Can we request a specific coaching instructor?
It is not possible to request a certain coaching teacher. We try to make the best matches possible between groups and teachers. But there are many things to take into consideration to finish this puzzle. You can write a note if you have a wish for a certain teacher, but we cannot guarantee anything.
What happens if the coaching session happens at the same time as a workshop, that the group has signed up for?
If your group/choir is granted a coaching session and you have chosen a workshop in the same time slot, you will lose your workshop seats and the coaching will count as a workshop.
If we are 40 singers in our choir and only 20 are able to attend the entire festival, can 10 of our singers who don’t have festival tickets join in the coaching session that we have been given by the festival without having to pay for the entire festival?
Unfortunately, we have to set a limit to the number of persons in a group attending the coaching session, and therefore it will not be possible for members to attend without a festival ticket.

There is a large parking complex next to Musikhuset (Concert Hall Aarhus), but parking in Aarhus city centre can be difficult and there is hardly any free parking.
By train: A 10-minute walk from the train station
By bus: A 10-minute walk from the bus station, but plenty of bus stops are also located along the streets near Musikhuset.
By plane: The airport bus stops at the train station

When you buy your individual ticket you will register personal information and contact info and
at the same time, you will register for workshops and be able to buy a food ticket (you can also buy food tickets later). There will be a possibility for 5 workshops per person with a Festival Pass.
When you register a group, the person signing up as the contact person will register his or her own contact info and after the registration, the contact person will receive a link for the rest of the group participants. When the other participants in the group use the link they will provide their own contact info, their workshop choices and they can buy food tickets. There will be a possibility for 5 workshops per person with a Festival Pass.
At the Group registration, you will have to:
– Choose whether the group wishes to apply for a coaching session
– Choose whether the group would like to perform a showcase concert at the festival
All ticket sale and workshop registration are “first come, first served” – we have a limited amount of tickets for sale and access to workshops depends on the available room and the type of workshop.
