We have around 150 musicians a year coming from all over the world for stays from 3 days up to 6 months. All come with a wish to "become the best version of themselves", taking part in our collective living and helping each other achieve personal goals. You would be a part of this fantastic atmosphere - meeting artists and musicians. We are learning every day on our micro farm and regularly volunteer receive help from local like-minded farmers, fishermen and craftsman.
The project is unlike anywhere in the world and you will have an unforgettable experience!

Do you remember seeing photos of young cello players performing for cows?
Well that's us...... Welcome to our cello school!!
Watch our documentary on YouTube where you can see exactly how the workawayers help (episode 3 is from July-December 2023 so gives a perfect overview!). Ask us for the link.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR HELP ON OUR MINI-FARM IN JUNE, JULY, AUGUST 2024 - WE ALSO PLAN TO START A MICRO BREWERY AND WILL GLADLY ACCEPT HELP FOR ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE IN THAT!
On the coastline 60km south of Copenhagen, an international school for young elite classical music talents has made their home. Becoming one of the most viral stories to hit the classical music world in recent years, media coverage such as The New York Times has brought the story of our project to over 2 billion people worldwide. An explosion in interest is due to the unique ethos at the school - achieve a healthy work-life balance, side by side with world class music training. Outreach concerts, outdoor experiences and collective living are all part of their philosophy to create more balanced and ultimately better musicians.
We are located next to Lund (Stevns), a historic fishing village which features one of Denmark's oldest harbours - just a short distance from UNESCO World Heritage Site "Stevns Klint" (Stevns Cliffs). Hosting stunning views from the campus over to the island of Møn, founder and international award-winning cellist Jacob Shaw works closely alongside a board of industry leaders in classical music to help promote, support and educate young musical talents typically aged between 16-25.
The school has succeeded in bringing classical music to new audiences and in untraditional surroundings. It challenges and strengthens both international and Danish talents that are brought together. A solid foundation for their future is planted whilst on Danish soil through world class teaching, essential networking and a healthy life balance. We strengthens the quality of an already strong music scene in Denmark, whilst contributing to the spread of a quintessentially Danish approach to working: High quality training and focus going hand in hand with socializing, good home-grown food and strong respect for individual personalities.
We strive to become self-sufficient and have restored an old farm from 1800. We have chickens, pigs, fish very often, fruit trees and a large vegetable patch. We bake bread almost daily and eat collectively. We would LOVE to have your help with our project to help with the daily running of the mini-farm and/or renovations of the buildings! We also fish, make artistic structures around the grounds and experiment with new things (such as mushroom farms, treehouses, overnight shelters and so on…!): Our place is a safe space for creativity and we’d love to have your input at all times - welcome to a musical farm!
We welcome open minded individuals with no previous experience, in addition to experienced people or ones with trusty skill sets - and friend groups travelling together wanting to have a fantastic work-cation. Want to help us farming the land, restoring the property, being around like minded open creatives - then this workaway placement is for you!

I spent a month at Jacob and Karen's musical farm and from day one I felt part of the project, involved in all the activities.
