The Brunei Music Society (BMS) celebrated the talent and dedication of the nation’s young performers at the Brunei’s Young Musicians Concert 2024 (BYMC), held on Sunday at the Jerudong International School (JIS) Arts Centre.
A staple in the local music calendar since its inception in 2007, the biennial event provides musicians under the age of 25 with a platform to showcase their musical skills. Open to all music schools and musicians in Brunei, participants are selected through a rigorous blind audition process conducted by a jury of BMS committee members and guest instrumental professionals.
The 2024 edition featured 26 solo performances, a strings ensemble, and a grand finale that brought all auditioned participants together in a captivating Broadway group performance. While not a competition, the event aims to nurture the talent of aspiring musicians, encouraging them to share their passion with the community. – Fadley Faisal
