CALCULATION OF THE FEES

For the calculation of the fees (early bird or normal) the date of receipt of all documents and the registration fee is decisive. This includes the following things:

Completed online-form
Links to application videos
Photo for the festival pass
Appropriate application fee

Please note: Without decent quality recordings (videos) it is difficult for the professors to determine which candidates to admit to the masterclasses.

PROVIDING THE RECORDINGS FOR THE APPLICATION

Please provide only links to YouTube videos.

Which/how many pieces are required for the masterclass selection?
Repertoire is free choice. However recordings submitted should demonstrate a high level of ability and must be un-edited live-videos. The quality of the recording device used is not a deciding factor.

About the video upload:
The videos can be uploaded to YouTube for free and set to "not listed" (please do not set to "private" because otherwise the videos can only be seen by you). Thus, the videos are not publicly visible, but only through the links that we get from you. Of course you can also send links to public videos. In the application form please enter the link to the videos.

If you have any questions about the videos, please contact our student’s office: office@cello-akademie-rutesheim.de

PHOTO FOR THE FESTIVAL PASS

Each participant gets a festival pass for the festival, which always has to be carried. It is valid as a ticket for all events (attending the master classes and concerts) and as authorization for the receipt of the lunch.

Which picture should be chosen?
Please upload a profile picture in print quality that clearly recognizes you (face, look into the camera).

4. PARTICIPATION AT CONCERTS

ACADEMY CONCERT

Professors will select students from their classes to perform in the chamber music concert as part of the festival. Active participation does not automatically entitle students to perform in this concert.

5. ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

ACCOMMODATION IN HOST FAMILIES

We offer all active participants the possibility of staying with host families free of charge. Of course, this is not a mandatory requirement and upon request we are happy to help you find a hotel nearby (not included in the course fee) should you prefer.
Host families open up their homes primarily because they seek to support the international culture and the character of the Academy. We would like to remind all participants to value this generosity.

Please note however, that host families are under no obligation to provide transport, meals or other additional subsistence.

Rules regarding accommodation with host families:

It is not permitted to invite personal guests to stay with your host family. Any requests in this regard must be made through the festival office.
You are expected to respect the house rules of the host family.
Visits made by students to another host-family residence require the expressed permission of the respective host family. It is forbidden to spend the night with other students at host-family residences.

CATERING

Lunch will be provided in the Mensa upon presentation of the festival pass. A vegetarian menu will also be provided. Drinks and additional snacks are not included and must be paid for separately. The host parents decide for themselves whether they offer a meal or not. In the school mensa there is a kiosk, which offers snacks and drinks all day long.

6. LEGAL

EXPULSION FROM THE ACADEMY

All participants should endeavour to promote the atmosphere of the festival and make it a special experience for both artists and concert-goers alike. There has not been a single expulsion from the academy in 9 festival years and we really want it to stay that way.

Behaviour that could lead to expulsion from the academy includes:

Complaints made by host families, including the refusal of a host family to accommodate a student further.
Underage alcohol consumption on festival property.
Theft.
Damage to floors caused by the cello spike.
Spending the night with other students at host-family residences.

In the event of expulsion from the academy, the course fee will not be refunded and the participant’s return journey will be made at his or her own expense.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT

The Cello Academy Rutesheim will photograph participants and make audio and video recordings throughout the duration of the festival.

By taking part in the festival, participants agree to the publication of all such recordings and photos and relinquish their copyright to the ownership of “Cello Akademie Rutesheim e.V” for promotional purposes, including but not limited to Flyers, Postcards, Website, Posters etc.
