1.1- Each Orchestra will name a representative/spokesperson, who be act as a link between their orchestra and the management team, formed by the International Orchestra Co-ordinator, the Co-ordinator for Guides, the Secretary and the Director of the Festival. This representative/spokesperson must be the same person prior to, during and after the Festival. No contact between other members of the visiting party and the management committee will be permitted on any aspect of the Festival.

Therefore the presence of the representative/spokesperson for each orchestra is a requirement during the Festival.

e-mail to (jaclemen@um.es) and by post to the following address:

José Antonio Clemente Buhlal

2.1- The proportion of accompanying adults during the stay:

Each orchestra will have a maximum of 1 accompanying adult or tutor for 10 musicians.

2.2- Number of orchestra members and their respective ages.

The total number of muscians, accompanying adults, drivers, etc should be made known to the Festival from the first moment of contact between the two parties.

2.3- The possibility of reducing the number of orchestra members and/or the adapting it the requirements of the FIOJ regarding the maximum number of participants per orchestra.
