Held from October 19 – 29, 2024, at the stunning Gokarna Forest Resort, this extraordinary 10-day event brought together musicians, dancers, artists, and performers from around the world for a transformative journey of artistic collaboration and cultural exchange.
Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Kathmandu was the perfect location for this exclusive gathering.

Set against the serene backdrop of Gokarna Forest, the event was not just about artistic growth—it was a celebration of the profound connection between nature and music.
What is GLOMUS?
GLOMUS (Global Music and Performing Arts Camp) is an international initiative that brings together students, teachers, managers, and artists from member countries to share in the joy of music, dance, and performance. It’s an event unlike any other, offering a platform for creative expression, cultural exchange, and professional development.
Since its inception, GLOMUS has taken place in countries such as Mozambique, Ghana, Tanzania, Malaysia, Brazil, Georgia, and Denmark. Each event fosters a unique atmosphere where participants can engage in collaborative artistic endeavors, attend performances, take part in workshops, and participate in debates that promote cross-cultural dialogue.

The deep connection between the natural world and artistic expression was ever-present, as Gokarna Forest became more than just a backdrop—it became an integral part of the creative experience. The tranquil forest environment provided the perfect space for participants to reflect, collaborate, and create in harmony with nature.
