FESTIVAL
Bringing The Arts Into Greater Heights

2025 will be our 30th Kota Kinabalu Music and Dance Festival and it shall be a pearly celebration. An occasion where we will go down memory lane whilst moving forward with new ideas.
This annual affair has brought many beautiful people together over the past 3 decades, it has opened many opportunities for young minds to hone their skills, artistic expressions and personal confidence in a friendly and yet encouraging public arena.
The festival has grown and expanded into a lifestyle where all communities embrace not just the appreciation of the arts but also the values of human kindness and empathy towards the needs of others.
We want to welcome all the successful participants and their friends and families. At the same time we are pleased that our initiation of the 1st Music Pedagogy Conference has been well received with a huge number of early bird sign ups nevertheless the registration for this colloquium is still on going, so do not miss this if you are looking for a safe and intellectual space to meet with all the like minded.
Last but not least, another big gala celebration is in store for all of us who are looking forward to a posh evening of timeless music, fashion, food, wine and great social together. Information to all the above are in the website and do contact us through email if you need further details.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
Best Regards
Audrey Chin
