The involvement of Non-Musician  MB Members. All participants and non-musicians will be have the opportunity to help with some work at the hotel. It helps significantly with the lodging and meal costs for all involved. Those who come as non-musicians can take on additional duties such as:

  1. Hotel cleaning - There is work that is very helpful to Musik-Brücken and its participants. This includes work helping hotel staff with cleaning (if called upon).  The hotel is self-catering, so to keep our costs low we are able to do many helpful things for the hotel. 
  2. Set-Up - There is a need for rehearsal/performance set up and transporting musicians to and from rehearsals and performances.
  3. Kitchen - If we self-cater: There is a need for conference participants to help set up breakfast, to work as chef's helpers in food preparation and to clean-up after each meal.
  4. Daily Bible Studies and prayer times led by a faculty member.
  5. Concert attendance - There will be several concerts during the week that all participants have the opportunity to attend.
  6. Sightseeing - You cannot attend an event in the Austrian Alps without spending some time looking around!
