The 10th BAMA International Music Festival
July 9 - July 18, 2026
Paris, France
If there is one city every young musician should experience at least once,
the answer is undoubtedly Paris.
Set along the Seine, Paris is not only the “City of Light,” but a global capital of the arts—home to Impressionism, and a historic center of classical music. From Claude Debussy to Maurice Ravel, from Arthur Rubinstein to countless pianists improvising in cafés of the Latin Quarter, music seems to live in the very air of the city.
With over 200 museums, 800 libraries, and more than 100 theatres and concert halls—including the iconic Palais Garnier and the world-renowned Louvre Museum—Paris offers an unmatched cultural landscape.
To truly understand the soul of classical music, one must experience Paris in person.
This summer, you are invited not just to visit Paris—but to live and study at the heart of its artistic world.
Held in a historic Parisian concert venue, this 8-day immersive festival is far more than a masterclass—it is an artistic transformation.
You will practice, perform, and refine your craft in an environment where history, sound, and inspiration converge.
