Workshop fees

Choose the workshop fee that's right for you!

Every year, Yiddish Summer brings together students and teachers from throughout the world to create a unique “Learning Community” in Weimar. We continually improve our fee structure to best serve the financial needs and possibilities of our students. We also want to make it more affordable for you to participate in more than one workshop, so there are built-in discounts for longer stays. In 2018 we offer the following fees, you choose the one that fits you best:

Standard fee:

The standard fee is 75€ per workshop day for the first three days. Starting with the fourth day the fee goes down to 60€, and from the seventh day onwards, the fee goes down again to 55€. From the twenty-second until the twenty-eighth day the tuition is free! Your total fee is calculated on the basis of the total number of days you participate in workshops.

Reduced fee:
This fee is for anyone who cannot afford the standard rate. The reduced fee is 60€ per workshop day for the first three days. Starting with the fourth day, the fee goes down to 45€, and from the seventh day onwards, the fee goes down again to 40€. From the twenty-second until the twenty-eighth day the tuition is free! Your total fee is calculated on the basis of the total number of days you participate in workshops.

Supporter fee:
Yiddish Summer Weimar participants help each other! This fee offers you the opportunity to help worthy students with limited financial means participate in Yiddish Summer Weimar. Together, three supporter fees are enough to create one scholarship for a deserving student. With a fee structure of 100€ per day, reduced to 85€ from the fourth day and reduced again to 80€ from the seventh day onwards, you are doing a good deed and directly helping your fellow workshop participants!

Under the age of 18:
For everyone under the age of 18, we offer a special rater of only 35€ per workshop day for the first three days. Starting with the fourth day, the fee goes down to 20€, and from the seventh day onwards, the fee goes down again to 15€. From the twenty-second until the twenty-eighth day the tuition is free! Your total fee is calculated on the basis of the total number of days you participate in workshops.

Four weeks for the price of three:
Participate in Yiddish Summer Weimar for four weeks but pay for only three! The fourth week is free! (If your overall program includes workshops that are not charged at the normal daily rate, such as the Choir Workshop or the Middle Eastern Music Ensemble, you qualify for a free fourth week once you've paid the amount equivalent to three week-long workshops). We hope this makes it possible for you to spend all four weeks with us to get the full Yiddish Summer Weimar experience and immerse yourself in Yiddish language, song, instrumental music and dance.

Scholarships:
Whenever possible, we (Other Music Academy e.V.) will offer partial and/or full scholarships for workshop fees for and/or living expenses, depending upon our available funds and capacity. You can find all the necessary scholarship information in the FAQs.

Please note! Fee reductions are calculated based on your total number of workshop participation days.
