Scandinavian Cello School

Scandinavian Cello School — where world-class music meets a different way of life.

On the coastline of Stevns, 60km south of Copenhagen, an international school for elite young classical musicians has become one of the most viral stories in the classical music world. Featured on the front page of The New York Times and covered by CNN, The Guardian, NPR, Classic FM, The Late Show, and over 2 billion people worldwide — SCS is changing what a music education can look like.

Founded by international award-winning cellist Jacob Shaw, Scandinavian Cello School combines world-class cello and chamber music training with outreach concerts, outdoor living, and a uniquely Danish approach to balance: high-quality focus alongside good food, collective living, and respect for the individual.
