As an actor working within the music genres covered by Art Music Denmark, you are eligible to apply for the international travel support called ‘Tilskud til international transport’. The support covers travel expenses from Denmark to international locations, from international locations to Denmark, as well as local transport costs while abroad in connection with activities which promote Danish music and art within our music genres.
The other Danish national music organisations; JazzDanmark, ROSA and Tempi also each have their own pool for ‘Tilskud til international transport’, where actors within their genres can apply. To apply with us, you must be an actor within contemporary music, classical or sound art.
Everything about the travel support can be read on this page, which is divided in 12 sections – see table of contents here. Make sure you have read all the rules thoroughly before you apply, report or contact us with questions. This makes the process easier for you, as well as us on the administrative end.

Music Committee
The Travel Support Manager (and System and Process Developer), Thinh Duc Tran, is the secretary for the Music Committee.
Funds for the international travel support are supplied by the Danish Arts Foundation and administered and distributed by the Danish national music organisations JazzDanmark, ROSA, Tempi and Art Music Denmark.
In accordance with agreements made with the Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Music Project Funding, the national music organisations are responsible for administering support for international music development within the organisations’ music genre areas.
JazzDanmark, ROSA, Tempi, Art Music Denmark and the Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Music Project Funding are in ongoing dialogue to ensure optimal application conditions.
“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.”
