The IVC is the only international vocal competition in the Netherlands and can hold its own amongst the most important classical singing competitions in the world. Our small team and the singers that we support can really use your help.
Give young singers that little bit of support for which you will get some nice things in return every year, but which will above all ensure that the IVC can continue to build a bright artistic future for talent that deserves it.
You can join on your own, or with your partner or a friend.
The basic level of Friendship begins at €75 for an individual, or €100 for two persons.
Club Crescendo membership is available from €250 per individual, or €400 for two persons.
Would you like to become a Friend of the IVC or receive more information about the various possibilities? Then send an email to Ariane Hofman: hofman@ivc.nu or fill in the form. Ariane will then contact you.
Also for information on donations, legacies or an annual contribution exceeding the amount of Club Crescendo.
Our foundation is designated as a cultural ANBI by the tax authorities. The advantage is that donations to our foundation are tax deductible and the foundation does not pay inheritance and gift tax. The amount you donate privately is - if you commit yourself for at least five years - 125% eligible for income tax deduction. This also applies to smaller amounts.
There are several possibilities to contribute to the survival of the International Vocal Competition even after your death. If you are considering this, please contact Ariane Hofman for advice: hofman@ivc.nu
The Foundation International Vocal Competition 's-Hertogenbosch organised its first competition in 1954. Since then, the IVC has developed into an internationally renowned singing competition with local, national and international appeal, attracting singers from all over the world to Den Bosch. The IVC organises annual competitions, master classes and concerts and offers young talent stages and opportunities for their future. A healthy financial base and continuity of funding are needed to continue the IVC's activities. The Friends of the International Vocal Competition Foundation was set up in 2008. Friends are of great importance. Thanks to the Friends‘ donations, the Annual IVC Friends’ Prize is awarded and new activities can be financed.
