International Music Festival

The International Music Festival is an annual event that unites talented musicians and singers from Globeducate schools across the globe. Students and teachers gather for a few days of musical activities, cultural exchange, and collaborative performances, culminating in a grand concert

 I made many encounters and discoveries on this trip in Bilbao. I felt that our spirits came together through music. This trip will be a part of me as a precious memory and will stay my heart. I thank all the teachers, host families and friends for this wonderful experience.

For several days, all the students lived this unique international experience in which, as well as rehearsing for the big day, they shared knowledge and cultures, developed a great team spirit and forged new friendships among many other things.  The final concert is an exhilarating experience that performers and audience do not forget. Students from all over the world on the same stage, each one with their own instrument but all with the same purpose: to make the audience feel what music makes them feel.

The experience goes beyond the rhythm and beats. As well as taking part in musical activities, students stay with host families, enjoy cultural visits around the host city, and sample new foods.

It was incredible from start to finish - and my experience as orchestra and choir conductor was so satisfying. It is impressive to see how music unites everyone, regardless of the language they speak or the country they come from: you give people a score and everyone plays in harmony, and that is the great power of music, it manages to unite and animate the soul.

The final result was tremendous, we really enjoyed it! I even got everyone to stand up and dance! Everyone was delighted; some people have told me that they were moved to tears! To see, at the end, everyone together making music, I saw the true power of music to make people so happy. It was a great success.

The International Music Festival is a significant event in the Globeducate calendar, fostering a love for music, cultural understanding, and international friendship among young musicians. Through collaborative performances and thematic pieces related to global issues, the festival not only celebrates musical talent but also promotes a message of unity and sustainable development.

It is a unique opportunity for the whole school and a pleasure to work with students who love music so much and all the educational qualities that it brings to them. It will be a great time for learning and togetherness for everyone and we are very happy and grateful to be hosting this fantastic Globeducate event. I assure you that we will be able to enjoy a unique festival
