We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2025 concert, 'Music Harmony Across Generation', an exciting highlight of the Around the Globe International Music Festival, which will take place in London on Saturday, 20th June 2026. It will feature UK premieres and talented young pianists and other musicians from across the UK and Serbia, designed to inspire your anticipation and celebrate musical excellence.

During the event, we will showcase the remarkable talents of young musicians, presenting a diverse group of children from various ages and backgrounds who will enchant the church with their captivating performances. The talented young artists will travel from vibrant cities across the UK, including London, York, Kent, and Hertfordshire and beyond. Additionally, we are excited to announce the participation of gifted children from Belgrade, Serbia, promising a rich tapestry of musical styles and cultural influences. Each performance will be a showcase of passion and creativity, filling the air with melodies that resonate deeply with all who attend.

We are particularly honoured to announce our special guest star—a renowned professional pianist and educator, Alla Levit Anderson, who will grace the stage to perform the winning composition from our 3rd Piano Composition Competition in the Adult Category. In addition, the evening will also feature the stunning piano works of Graham Lynch, both of which will make their UK premieres during this memorable occasion. Join us for an extraordinary celebration of creativity and talent in an inspiring atmosphere!
