We hope to see the entire Suzuki family together. However, please note that our capacity is limited.

All registrations will be accepted online only. If the number of applications exceeds the available quota, new applications will be placed on a waiting list and reviewed in the event of cancellations.

Registration Fees

The €250 registration fee covers participation in all educational activities planned for students and access to concerts for both students and their families.

Discounts for multiple students from the same family:

  • 5% discount for the second sibling
  • 10% discount for the third and subsequent siblings (if registered simultaneously)

Some concerts (excluding the Gala Concert) may have limited seating. Advance reservation may be required for these performances.

Observer Teachers

The €100 registration fee allows observer teachers to attend the training sessions led by the international teaching team and participate in the concerts.

A maximum number of observers will be set for each class based on room capacity. Observers are kindly asked not to overcrowd the sessions.

During registration, observer teachers may indicate their willingness to volunteer in musical and logistical activities.

In case the event is cancelled due to a natural disaster, 90% of the registration fee will be refunded.

If a participant cancels before December 1, 2025, the fee will be refunded 90% by December 15, 2025 only if another participant from the waiting list in the same category replaces them.

A minimum number of participants is required for each instrument. If this number is not met, the related course will be cancelled and the fee will be fully refunded by December 15, 2025.
