Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We have around 50 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.
In 2026, we are looking for Workawayers with experience in:
1. Farm work - helping on our micro-farm with organic growing and our aim of becoming more self-sufficient
2. Food preparation & preservation - pickling, fermenting, preserving, storage for our winter larder
3. Building & practical work - repairs around the farm and houses, plus projects such as:
• renovation of a small circus wagon into accommodation
• building a treehouse
• construction and maintenance of animal shelters
Please get in touch and clearly outline your relevant experience.
We love when Workawayers bring additional skills (film, photography, cooking, etc.), but these must come alongside one of the areas above - not as the main purpose of the stay.
All applications include an online interview, and the minimum stay is 3+ weeks.
Age: 25+
About us:
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! 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!
Want to help us farming the land, restoring the property, being around like minded open creatives - then this workaway placement is for you!

You will have a traditional Danish experience - a single room, shared bathroom, common meals, access to a car, boat, and all this just next to the coastline!
Was noch ...
You will be living alongside the musicians and with our private family - Karen (41), Jacob (38), Elise (6), Liv (6), plus Lila the farm manager (28) - chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigs and various farm cats.......
Workload:
You will be working 5 days a week, around 5 hours a day (this could go up and down, but maximum 25 hours a week).
If you would like to do more you are most welcome!!
Food:
Work starts at 9am every day, and there are breakfast supplies to help yourself to before that (eggs, coffee, bread, cereal, etc.)
There is a shop nearby for your lunch needs but off course we are on a farm so any produce that is in season is for your usage.
You have evening meal supplies provided for the days of work - evening meals with everyone in the community take place about 3 times a week: We prepare this together after our work hours.
There is a kitchen for your usage, where you are welcome to cook your own food and in the summer by arrangement you are most welcome to help yourself to the crops growing outside.
Living:
Accommodation in a single room is provided
Bathroom is shared
Living as a community:
For the community meals everyone is expected to help out
Age:
We are looking for workawayers typically in the 25-40 bracket.
There are set clean up days twice a week in the common areas (bathroom, kitchen, main room) that are part of living in a community and scheduled in accordance with everyone in the house.
Cooking and cleaning for the community is something we all take part in and this is not counted towards work hours but a part of living together - many hands make light work!! :)
We are located next to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stevns Klint (Stevns Cliffs), and the absolutely stunning nature on the south-coast of Denmark. Copenhagen airport is just over an hours drive, and there is a train connection from the beach village of Rødvig that takes you to Køge (greater Copenhagen) in 35 minutes and central Copenhagen in 1.5 hours.
We have a fishing boat and a pleasure motorboat which can be used to explore the coastline around, plus bikes that you can reach the local train station (about 5km). There is a car that sometimes can be available if requested in advance for short trips to the local village.
