The COBIS Senior School Music Festival 2015

The first ever COBIS Senior School Music Festival took place on 6 and 7 June 2015 in Prague. Prague British School hosted students from The British School in The Netherlands, the International School of Moscow and the English International School Prague for a weekend of workshops, competition and culture. 

More than 100 students took part in the Festival over the two days, culminating in a collaborative workshop and performance at the Gala Concert in the magnificent Czech Museum of Music.
