Become a friend of the IVC

Young singers need your support!

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.

About IVC Friends

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.
