SO thrilled to announce that we will be featured tonight on Danish prime time TV - “Fællessang - hver for sig”!!

( ... you can also hear me from 9-10am this morning talking about the project on the radio with Danish Radio P2 )

On Monday there was a secret visit from @dr1tv who we welcomed at Scandinavian Cello School to find out more about our musical beef project with Haugaard Hereford 🐮🎻

.... as with every week, the cows had yet another live concert - but this time from the fantastic duo LULO (@kirstineelise and Mathæus Bech) who recorded their upcoming album at SCS!!

Tune in tonight at 8pm on DR1 to find out more about our unique experiment raising Hereford cows to the sound of classical music ❤️

📀 NEW RELEASE 12.03.21 📀

🥳 What an amazing project this is - and happy to be working on it with my boutique consultancy company SCS Consultancy for the fantastic violinist @januszwawrowski and his release with the @rpoonline on @warner_classics .

🎻 A stunning violin concerto lost during the uprising - reconstructed and literally rising from the ashes - played on the first Stradivarius violin in post Second World War Poland.

🎶 The music of Rózycki is FANTASTIC and you can listen to a few tracks already on all streaming portals, whilst pre-order is available now before the whole album drops on 12th March 2021!

💻 Super work once again by my colleagues Kilmulis Studio (on a photo of Fabrizio Maltese) for the album cover and editing, movies and full website for this release.

In Japan they have Kobe beef, in Denmark we have Haugaard Hereford.

Our dear neighbour and huge supporter of Scandinavian Cello School, Mogens Haugaard raises together with his wife Louise a small amount of Hereford cows - which grow up on the idyllic free range countryside looking over the cliffs right on the waters edge - just to the side of Scandinavian Cello School in Lund, Stevns.

Mogens has a fascination with classical music and as the ex-mayor of Stevns, he even sits on the board of directors at Copenhagen Philharmonic. A sixth generation farmer, he started raising Hereford beef in 1985 - and now together in a special partnership with Scandinavian Cello School - the cows will be raised to the sound of classical music.

This is the best beef I tasted in my whole life, whilst scientific research has proved time and time again that animals raised to classical music strongly benefits the flavour as it brings them relaxation - so the outcome is going to be spectacular. Currently hearing classical music through loudspeakers for the entire day, we have now started the process of playing live music to them with the musicians that come to visit Scandinavian Cello School. In April we launch a special concert series right alongside the cows with the first concert played on 25th April by the international SCS 8 piece cello ensemble (who between them have won over 100 national and international prizes!).

Today the newspaper placed us on the front page, and I can’t wait to share with you all the journey and experiment over the next year of the breeding, feeding, and playing process before the taste test later on in 2021!!

Sunrise at the bottom of our garden here in Stevns. An amazing past 10 days with musicians and an array of business guests coming for unique stays, all conducted with corona regulations and guidelines.

Like anyone in the hospitality business comes 16 hour work days in order to keep everything working and extra safe with corona in mind - but boy oh boy what an honour to have the support from the local community and serve some of the best things Stevns has to offer, whilst regenerating the income from our business guests to support the next generation of musicians ❤️

The renovation of our new house is soon finished and the other buildings are refurnished to 6 bedrooms allowing for corona safe trips in the next months - and we are almost full up for the entire next month!!

Come and visit us, relax, and work towards your goals - becoming the best version of yourself....

Christmas 2020: Lockdown at SCS. Walks, boat trips, almost only local or home grown/fished/hunted food - and Elise even got her very own mini-SCS 😍❤️ Happy holidays from us to you! 🥳🤶

During my work for @nightingalestringquartet , I have been discovering some amazing and very underplayed Danish masterworks....

See a little CD trailer we made for their upcoming album in @dacaporecords !

Vagn Holmboe was fascinated with folk music, traveling in Transylvania, the Faroe Islands and Greenland - and often intertwined his music with folk melodies. Feeling a strong connection between music and nature, he moved to live in the countryside (next to Lake Arresø, 50km from Copenhagen) and spent a large part of his life there planting over 3000 trees!

Working for CD releases on @dacaporecords & @warner_classics , teaching students both here at SCS and online (my masters class in China at @ccaa_cdu and various lessons in schools around Europe) - safe to say relaxing taking place in the kitchen most nights 😇

The cows are growing big and strong and Elise is learning nicely how to become a farmers girl 😂

Our “bring SCS home” campaign is proving super successful with numerous donations coming in - if you are based in Denmark and donate to SCS we will match the donation with some very special gifts (choose from 1ere cru champagne, cognac, wines, foie gras, etc....!!). The campaign lasts as long as there are goodies left over, so don’t delay if you want to grab some amazing things for your Christmas! 🥳 more details on our webpage or by PM

We are ALREADY filling up with bookings for next year, if you want to visit the artists retreat (all instruments, ensembles, art forms) just get in touch with us. We will have double as much space with our new house from January 2021!!

FANTASTIC news - SCS will receive some vital suppo

FANTASTIC news - SCS will receive some vital support in 2021 from Statens Kunstfond (Danish Arts Foundation) - so when better to launch our edible “enjoy SCS at home” campaign! 🥳🍷🥂🍸🐠

2020 has been tough for many of us, so for Christmas we want to offer something very special to bring this year to a lovely end for you!

We want you to have as great an experience with food and drinks in your own homes as our students and guests receive when they visit us! Therefore now when you are based in Denmark and make a donation to Scandinavian Cello School we will match it with a wonderful gift to the same value of your donation. 🏆

Choose from splendid French wines, 1ere Cru Champagne, Foie Gras, home smoked salmons, and so much more....

This new initiative is made possible by long term relationships with our partners and each gift has been selected with years of experience, and vital contacts with local producers and merchants.

For every donation over 1100 dkk our artistic patron @maddalenadelgobbo will also give you a copy of “Maddalena and the Prince” released on @dgclassics - the CD was nominated for an International Classical Music Award and project managed by Scandinavian Cello School consultancy in the same year that the SCS cello ensemble appeared at the @viennaphilharmonic annual ball in the Musikverein (see photo). 🎻

So join us in celebrating Christmas this year - donate to Scandinavian Cello School - and enjoy a little part of our SCS in your own home!

All details on our website or this link - http://www.scandinaviancelloschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Donation-gifts-1.pdf

Smoked salmon, wild goose tartare, autumn foraging

Smoked salmon, wild goose tartare, autumn foraging - wonderful days for creating and teaching as winter approaches. Lots of students spoiling Elise who is somehow gravitating towards a certain instrument 🙈

Exciting times on the horizon with a huge delivery of French treats arriving soon - Danish friends please let us know if you want some champagne/cognac/foie gras/wine/etc for Christmas, I’m sure we can work out something ....... 😇

Fish keeps the music afloat.....! For Danish base

Fish keeps the music afloat.....!

For Danish based followers: Make a donation from 100-500 dkk to Scandinavian Cello School and get a gift of salmon or sea trout (sizes suitable for 2-8 people)!!

Many of you have asked about tasting our fish which is sustainably fished by our students and residents here in the waters overlooking @unescoworldheritage site of Stevns Klint and now it is possible.

If you become a member of our association and give a much needed donation to SCS we will bring a fish deep frozen and vacuum packed to collect in Copenhagen. We can even fillet or smoke it for you if that’s more your thing.

The fish is taken out of the water with a rod or a net, and hits the freezer as soon as we arrive home - you can’t get fresher - and by donating you’ll be supporting a fantastic cause whilst getting a really tasty gift almost cheaper than the supermarket 😇

Christmas is coming up, let’s stock your freezer and keep the music flowing at SCS! 🎻 🥰

Send us a message for more details and find out how this special donation works.

What a week.... and SUCH a treat to see young musi

What a week.... and SUCH a treat to see young musicians we are proud to support having huge success ❤️🥳🥂

A fantastic new collaboration the past few days with Marc Casanovas / Nordcat Lyd during a young artists residency for the winner of the International Pablo Casals Award @cello.hannes (cello, 23) and the winner of the National YoungArts competition @annastasia_m_ (piano, 22) enabling a recording + a live-streamed young artist recital at SCS + career boost mentoring.

Then to cap it off a trip into Copenhagen to see the @novoquartet win the national chamber music competition - amazing to hear their playing develop in just a few months since they were with us at Scandinavian Cello School.

Both Johannes and @signebitsch (cellist of the Novo Quartet) will be part of our SCS cello ensemble tour taking place in Denmark in April 2021 🥰

We are here to help young musicians - just get in touch with us via our website or social media: Visit SCS and become the best version of yourself.... ⭐️
