FAQ
When will registration open?
Registration for conference attendees and exhibitors will be open mid-January 2027 onwards.
Will accompanists and other collaborative artists need to register to perform?
Assisting artists (accompanists, other collaborative artists who are not double reed players) will have their registration fee waived for the day that they perform. If they wish to attend additional days of the conference, they must pay registration fees for those days.
Will composers need to register to attend the performance of their composition?
Composers whose works are being performed will have their registration fee waived for the day that their composition is performed. If they wish to attend additional days of the conference, they must pay registration fees for those days.
Does IDRS waive the registration fee for Conference Artists (performers)?
IDRS is unable to provide funds toward expenses involved in participating in the conference. All conference performers who are double reed players must be a member of IDRS and register for the conference. IDRS encourages seeking outside funding or sponsorship to attend.
Does IDRS provide any financial support for conference attendees?
For existing financial support opportunities through IDRS, please see the IDRS “Sponsor A Member” Program and “50 for 50 Commissioning Grants.”
