📀 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....
