"Art Music Denmark has greatly helped NEKO3 in a variety of ways - from financially supporting our traveling in order to showcase Danish contemporary music in the international scene, to career counselling that has brought our ensemble forward, and to create small gathering events to bring artist together. It is definitely a luxury to have an association like Art Music Denmark around."
"What made this residency program such an exceptional experience was the contrast of London’s vibrant city life and living next to the wild park Hampstead Heath. You find what you are looking for: a calm working space in an inspiring environment. And obviously you get to meet a lot of new people!"
“The international travel subsidy made an extraordinary thing possible: to be able to invite the composer Kaija Saariaho and participating musicians from all across Europe to participate in the 2021 festival’s overarching venture. This created an even bigger impact nationally and internationally for an already renowned festival.”
