​
Deposits Non-Refundable but Transferable
Should a singer withdraw from the residency,
a substitute singer can take their place.
Deposits are transferable to newly-onboarding participants:
A withdrawing singer's deposit can be applied to
a newly-onboarding singer.
A withdrawing non-singer's deposit can be applied to a newly-onboarding singer or non-singer.
Viva la Musica will try to facilitate arrangements
for substitutions between the person withdrawing
and the new registrant.

Viva la Musica Season Dues
Singers are asked to pay season dues
to help offset some of the costs
that Viva la Musica incurs for preparation for the upcoming season and residency:
rehearsals—conductor, pianist, venue, distance access, educational and information online portal,
hall rental, event insurance,
Bay Area dress rehearsals and a performance
orchestra, soloists, venue, playbill, advertising,
and Sweden trip administration.
​
$200 suggested dues.
If singers are participating only in some of the season's activities, registration fees can be prorated at the singer's discretion.
Registration fees are payable to Viva la Musica.
