Residency Costs and Payment Schedule:

Total cost is €2595 Euros (For example: at an exchange purchase rate of 1.10 = $2854.5) per person, based on double occupancy. This includes events, accommodations, transfers, & all tips, gratuity, and VAT taxes described in the day to day itinerary and specifically itemized on the “inclusions” page. This price does not include airfare to Paris. Single supplement occupancy is € 4345 Euros (€1750 additional). Note that single rooms are limited. Triple rooms are occasionally available and the cost per person is the same as double room occupancy, €2595 Euros per person. At the time of receiving your FIRST PER PERSON DEPOSIT with MidAm International, Inc., your dollar purchase exchange rate for your ensemble will become fixed and firm in dollars, and this dollar amount is computed based on the dollar purchase exchange rate for that day which is published at the end of the business day in all newspapers. Please note that MidAm will add “.1” to the total published bank rate to cover dollar to euro wire and transfer costs as well as any and all bank commissions charged by our European Bank (Alpha Bank). From this point forward the dollar amount for this program will remain unchanged, regardless of whether the dollar weakens or strengthens for the remainder of your payment deposits. This tour is priced in EUROS because all travel services in Europe are paid in EUROS not dollars to the providers. Spouses, friends, and families are welcome to be part of the residency. The same package described here applies to them as well.

DEPOSIT DEADLINES:

• $400 per person on or before November 15, 2018. • $400 per person on or before January, 2019. • $500 per person on or before March 15, 2019. • Balance due on or before May 1, 2019.

COMPLIMENTARY PACKAGES FOR EARLY DEPOSITS

The initial per-person deadline for registration for this residency is November 15, 2018. A free land package (based on double occupancy) is provided for every thirty persons who register by November 15, 2018 (30 registrations then #31 is free; registrations of 32 to 61 then #62 is free; registrations 63 to 92 then #93 is free, etc). The initial per-person first payment on the package is $400 per-person (see below).

An additional free bonus land package (based on double occupancy) is provided for every 30 registrants if the initial per-person registration occurs by June 1, 2018. For example, if you register with 30 paid persons by November 15, 2018 you receive 1 complimentary land package free (30+1). However, if those 30 persons would register by June 1, 2018 an early registration bonus occurs with an additional complimentary land package, so, it is 30 + 1 + 1 or 32 total. This bonus only applies to registrations which occur by this early deposit date of June 1, 2018. If you should later add an additional 30 persons by November 15, 2018 then only 1 additional complimentary land package occurs which, in this case, would be 3 bonus packages: 60 + 3. Note: If the conductor is a "guest conductor", with a chorus of minimum 60, his free package does not count in the above calculation. The number of participants is a combination of performers and non-performers all taking the residency package. Non-performers are family, friends, chaperones, etc.
