I am delighted to announce that the second annual St Chris Performing Arts Festival will take place from 29 March to 1 April 2026, across both our Saar and Isa Town campuses, with a Gala Concert for prize winners on Wednesday, 1 April.

Building on the tremendous success of last year’s inaugural event, the festival continues to celebrate the full spectrum of the performing arts, with competitions in Music, Drama, and Dance. Our aim remains to bring together young performing arts students of all levels from schools throughout the Kingdom of Bahrain, offering them an inspiring and supportive environment to perform, connect, and grow.

This year, we are pleased to once again offer solo and ensemble classes in classical, rock, and pop music, alongside dynamic acting categories for solo and group drama entries, and dance categories featuring solos, duos, and group performances. The winners of each category will be invited to perform at the Gala Concert on Wednesday, 1 April, where they will receive their trophies in celebration of their success.

Certificates will be presented to all participants, and medals will be awarded to students who place first, second, and third in each category—recognising their dedication and outstanding achievement.

We warmly invite you to join us once again in celebrating the extraordinary creativity and talent of our students across the Kingdom. Together, let’s make this year’s festival another unforgettable celebration of the performing arts.

Kind regards,

Mr Dennis Haggerty

Director Of Performing Arts
