APOLLO – SONGWRITER & MUSIC CREATOR NETWORK 2025

AUTUMN 2025

Apollo is a network for songwriters, producers, and composers, where everyone is welcome – regardless of genre or experience level. The purpose of the network is to create a committed community that uplifts, develops, and inspires its participants across backgrounds and styles.

Host and facilitator of Apollo is musician/songwriter Marc Facchini, who has been active since 2010 as a touring, recording, and performing artist – both in bands and as a solo artist. Today, Marc works primarily as a solo musician, educator, and facilitator, including at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen.

The Apollo network will meet six times during the fall of 2025. Four of the sessions will be facilitated by Marc, while two will feature guest speakers who will give an inspirational talk and a writing assignment. In the past, guests have included Ammar808, Karoline Skriver, and Nanna Bech.

Each session is centered around professional discussion, feedback rounds, and shared meals. Participants are expected to bring a piece of music in progress to each session. In small groups, participants present their work and receive tailored feedback. We acknowledge that sharing your art and receiving feedback can feel vulnerable, and we take great care to create a respectful and supportive environment.

In addition to fostering music and songwriting, Apollo also offers a warm and welcoming community where participants can exchange experiences from across the music industry. Both Marc, AUTOR, and turkis are looking forward to building new connections and welcoming a fresh group into this informal and creative space.

Apollo is open to 20 participants. In the selection process, we aim to ensure as much diversity as possible – in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, genre, and experience level.
