ENGAGE
FRIENDS OF FCA
Help us build a space where young musicians can thrive.
When you become a Friend of FCA, you’re not just donating – you’re joining a society of people who care about music, community, and young talent. Your support helps the institution of FCA to support young international artists year around through the arrangement of prize-concerts. You can also choose to donate a scholarship to a young talent, where your support covers the course fee, housing and meals for a FCA student.
We’re working on making your donation tax-deductible (coming soon).
sponsor
Support the people behind the music.
Whether it’s concert outfits, equipment, housing, transport, or tools for our small admin team while we’re working in Odense, your sponsorship makes real, practical things happen. Sponsors have helped us print programs, decorate our stages, and even host international students through their Airbnbs.
This year, we’re grateful for support from Søren Le Schmidt, G’Vine, Larsen Strings, Pianoteket, Aarhus Osteopati among others.

VOLUNTEER
A helping hand, a ride, a smile – it all makes a difference.
FCA is run with heart, and that includes our amazing volunteers. Whether you help set up food, greet guests at the door, drive a student to their airbnb, or assist backstage during the prize concert – you’re making something beautiful happen.
We welcome all who want to contribute, whether you’re from Odense or beyond.

FCA Merch – Carry the music with you
Welcome to our little shop, where you can bring a piece of FCA home. Our collection is made with love for music and community – and when you use our merch, you’re also supporting the work we do for young international musicians all year round.
Every purchase goes directly back to the academy, helping us create even more musical moments and encounters in Odense and beyond.
Thank you for carrying FCA in your heart.
