Bahrain Young Performers Festival 2014bsb young perfomers festival

The third Bahrain Young Performers Festival took place between the 17 and 20 November. Hosted by the British School of Bahrain, the Festival draws pupils from schools throughout Bahrain in areas of Music, Dance, Poetry and Monologues. All of the St Christopher’s School pupils who took part throughout the week performed commendably. Not all of them will be seen on paper as winners, however, many gave extraordinary performances in their own right. Well done to them all, whether they took part as musicians, dancers or actors. Special thanks should also be expressed to their trainers, teachers and accompanists. At the Final, where performers from all categories of the Festival compete against each other, St Christopher’s School pupils performed to an extremely high standard. The evening is always a diverse event and the five judges must have had an almost impossible task of choosing the winners. However, their deliberations brought these results:

Novice Winners:              Sophie Moir and Alex Jones (Dance Duo)

Intermediate Winner:     Benjamin Wall (Drama Solo)

Advanced Winner:          Michel Toutoungy and Rayan Bannaei (Violin Duo)

Choir Winner:                   St Christopher’s Choir ‘Cantata’

Ensemble Winner:          St Christopher’s Arnold Brass

Special awards also went to:

Diversity Award:              Safiya Jamil (Vocal)

Star of the Future:           Ian Fernandez (Piano)
