Together with Park House English School, we were delighted to invite COBIS students to take part in our Music Festival from 7-9 February 2025, with both an online competition and an in-person event.

The in-person event brought together 251 students from 16 COBIS schools across seven countries including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Nigeria, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Netherlands. Students had the opportunity to perform in a range of solo and ensemble categories, including the brilliant Battle of the Bands category. With over 150 performances, the competition saw a fantastic display of talent. The programme also included musical workshops and evening activities.

The online competition was centred around composition, and included 3 composition categories, from which the Young Composer of the Year was selected.  We were delighted to see 23 COBIS schools register for the competition.
