Support
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.
If you are residing in France you can make a tax-deductible donation.

The organization accepts new donors and members only through unanimous co-option.

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 Soeren Le Schmidt, G’Vine, Larsen Strings, Pianoteket, Aarhus Osteopati among others.
