FRIENDS OF VCCF
Support contemporary chamber music
Friends of VCCF is a group of music lovers dedicated to advancing contemporary music and supporting the next generation of composers and performers.
Our mission is to enable talented composers and performers to attend the festival by providing scholarships and financial assistance.
Proceeds directly benefit participants, helping them join this transformative program and fostering cultural exchange among artists from around the globe. Each year, many talented applicants face financial barriers to attending VCCF in Vienna, the historic center of music.
All Friends of VCCF members are warmly invited to visit the festival and attend a recognition dinner in Vienna during the 2025 VCCF. Members also enjoy exclusive tours and opportunities to meet the festival’s directors, esteemed faculty, and participants.
All VCCF participants automatically receive a complimentary one-year membership as Friends of VCCF.
