Secure your place early
Register and pay your deposit early to secure your place on the China trip. We will organise and book the group flights on your behalf. Early confirmation helps us finalise participant numbers and gives us a better opportunity to secure favourable group airfares.
Flight prices are subject to availability and may increase closer to departure. Confirming early helps us keep costs down, although a particular airfare cannot be guaranteed until the group booking is confirmed.
Bring a friend. You both get NZ$100 back.
Joining the Shanghai Music Programme with a friend? Ask them to enter your name when they register, and you’ll each receive NZ$100 back.
You’ll receive NZ$100 for every friend you refer. Each new participant receives their NZ$100 referral benefit once.
Choose to receive it as pocket money during the programme in China or as a payment to your nominated bank account.
