What the partners say

“For the past ten years or so Mathias Madsen Munch has been an important part of the children's culture effort in Helsingør Kommune, one of the recurring artists that pupils in our schools meet as a teacher. My warmest recommendation for any project that revolves around music and innovation.”Ida Wettendorff, children's culture consultant, Helsingør Kommune · written recommendation, translated from Danish · a partnership now in its 13th consecutive year
“Not long after the course, year 7 had to write an essay about something worth fighting for. Some of the girls wanted to fight for the rainforest and its animals. That is where I could really feel that something had happened.”Teacher, Bjerregrav Friskole · in CISU's annual report 2024, “Regnskovens lyde”, p. 28 · translated from Danish · read the report ↗
“Composers like Mathias take charge of developing the concert concepts themselves: projects that arrive thoroughly worked through and ready to implement. One of the hallmarks of his works is their continuous development, created in close dialogue with the audience.”Maja Joss-Børch, DR Musikariet / Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester · written recommendation, 2024, translated from Danish
