The Council of British International Schools (COBIS) announced the highly anticipated COBIS Music Festival 2024. The globally recognised event, which showcases musical talents from over 270 COBIS member schools in more than 80 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, will take place in Bahrain, for the very first time, as the British School of Bahrain (BSB), was selected to host the prestigious event. The festival is set to take place from 9th to 11th February 2024.
As one of the most prestigious events on the global school calendar, the COBIS Music Festival is a platform where students, educators, and music enthusiasts, converge, in celebration of music. This festival is a testament to COBIS’s dedication to fostering creativity, collaboration, and cultural exchange through musical education. Through a series of workshops, rehearsals, and performances, participants will have the chance to hone their musical skills, expand their horizons, and forge lasting connections with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Executive Headmaster, John Maguire expressed his delight, stating, “We are immensely proud to be at the forefront of globally recognised events which foster young talent. The COBIS Music Festival will not only showcase the incredible talent and passion of young musicians, but it will also provide a platform for cultural understanding and global exchange, which underscore our ethos as an Inspired School. This especially rings true after being awarded ‘Winner of the COBIS Young Musician of the Year, at the 2023 COBIS Music Festival. We are committed to providing a vibrant and enriching hub for all participants and very much look forward to welcoming all participants, in the beautiful Kingdom of Bahrain.”
