Registration

Registration is open as of Monday, April 8, 2024.

​

Payments to MAP

Singers participating in the MidAmerica Productions (MAP) Carnegie residency (New York rehearsals, performance, dinner cruise) make register and make payments to MAP via the online portal, GroupCollect.

​

Cost

$1,199 per singer

1st Deposit $300 due July 1, 2024

2nd Deposit $350 due September 15, 2024

Final Deposit $549 due January 15, 2025

​

Register and Pay

​

You may be prompted to use a trip code, "hoffmann25."

​

 

Registering and making the first deposit at the same time apparently obviates some possible system snafus with Group Collect, rather than registering now and paying later. 

​

If you wish to register without making the first deposit, your registration simply remains provisional until the first deposit is made.

 

All first deposits must be complete (not in process) by July 1, 2024.  If you are paying close to the July 1 date, allow a 3-4 business days for the Group Collect system to verify your bank account info and to transfer funds. ​

​

Viva is aiming to register as many singers as possible by the early bird date of July 1, as this gives our organization some benefits. Regular registration will still be possible until October 1 2024.

​

Non-refundable Deposits

All deposits to MAP are non-refundable. Should a singer withdraw from the residency, MAP will allow a substitute singer to take their place. Viva la Musica will try to facilitate arrangements for substitutions between the person withdrawing and the new registrant.

​

Cancellation Insurance

MAP strongly recommends registrants consider purchasing cancellation insurance. You may use any insurance company offering travel insurance. MAP suggests travelexinsurance.com (call 1-800-228-9792). Use Location Code 32-6180 when requesting a Travelex insurance quote. Another trip insurance option suggested by MAP is  RoamRight.

​

Singers book their own travel & hotel 

Book accommodations for Thursday June 19—Monday, June 23, to cover the residency activities. Of course, there is much to see and do in NYC and you are welcome to come earlier and stay later.

​

Groupies Welcome

Friends and family of singers—our cherished groupies—are most welcome in New York, and we look forward to performing for you at Carnegie. Groupies, like singers, make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Groupies purchase their own tickets for the Carnegie concert, and are invited to purchase tickets for the post concert cruise celebration.  There are no other charges for groupies, either to MAP or to Viva.

​

Viva la Musica season preparation

Singers are asked to pay $200 season registration to help offset some of the costs that Viva la Musica incurs  for preparation for Carnegie: rehearsals—conductor, pianist, venue, Zoom access and recordings—educational and information online portal, and Bay Area dress rehearsals and a performance—orchestra, soloists, venue, playbill, advertising, and administration. If singers are participating only in some of the season's activities, we can arrange for their registration fees to be prorated. Registration fees can be made by check or cash at the first rehearsal or they can be mailed to Viva la Musica. Amounts above $200 will be recognized as donations to Viva

​
