Join young musicians from schools across Southern China for two inspiring days of music-making, collaboration, and performance at the ACAMIS Orchestral Festival & Workshop 2027, hosted by Shen Wai International School (SWIS), Shenzhen.

The festival culminates in a showcase concert, celebrating the achievements of the combined orchestra and demonstrating the power of music to connect, inspire, and unite young people through a shared artistic experience.

Whether students are experienced orchestral performers or looking to broaden their ensemble experience, this event promises an enriching and memorable musical journey.

Highlights

  • Full orchestra rehearsals
