Pakistan’s first ever music festival for children and families was organised by Roshan Rahain in Lahore on Saturday. Roshan Rahain is a non-profit organisation working to highlight the importance of teaching children using various forms of art including music.
The festival was held at Ali Institute of Education, one of the festival partners, and received an overwhelming response, with over 700 attendees including children, teachers and families.
Popular singer and former Pakistan Idol champion Zamad Baig attended the festival as a judge and performed at the closing of the festival. Families were also kept entertained by games and food stalls which were set up at the venue.
Roshan Rahain CEO Shaigan Azhar shared the overall objective of the festival by saying “The idea behind organising the music festival was to introduce the concept of integrating music with learning skills of children, we worked very hard to put together series of musical workshops which were engaging and yet fun to attend. We had hundreds of children, families, teachers who attended our festival and it was encouraging to see that almost all of them endorsed our idea. We will be bringing more innovative projects for children and families alike”.
