I am delighted to share that the St Christopher’s Music Festival 2024 will take place from 28 to 30 April in both our Saar and Isa Town campuses. 

The festival aims to draw together young musicians of all levels from schools throughout the Kingdom of Bahrain, to participate in a friendly, competitive musical event.   It will provide a platform for our young musicians to share their considerable talents and celebrate success.

We have introduced a new Non-Competitive class for Infant Choirs and the 'Advanced Level’ for musicians at Grade 8 or above, will continue this year along with Rock and Pop Ensemble.  In the solo category, medals for first, second and third place will be awarded for Piano, Instrumental and Vocal for each of the four levels.  The winners of each category will progress to the Grand Final on Wednesday 24 March and compete to achieve the overall level winner.  

The top two performances in each ensemble category will automatically progress to the Grand Final and will compete against each other for the winner’s cup or shield.  Certificates will be awarded at the Grand Final to all competitors who are placed first, second and third in all categories to recognise their outstanding achievement. 

The Rock and Pop competition is a separate event from Musical Levels and the Grand Final.  This will be held all day on Wednesday 24 April and winners will be announced and presented after each class. There will also be some overall special prizes awarded after the final level has been adjudicated. 

Thank you all for your support of the Festival and we look forward to welcoming you to St Christopher’s over the festival week.

Kind regards,

Mr Dennis Haggerty

Director Of Whole School Music
