KCB celebrates the end of the 2024-2025 academic year

Eindejaarsfeest KCB

After an academic year in which students, faculty and staff gave their best, it is nice to celebrate the end of 2024-2025 together in a playful way.

Moreover, many of our students and faculty are internationally active, so the summer holidays often mark a temporary farewell. The end-of-year party therefore provides a great opportunity to be together one last time.

A convivial finale organised by and for everyone from KCB

Hosting this day provides a convivial moment where all those who have a connection with KCB come together.

The alumni (2023-2024 graduates) were honoured by the heads of programmes during their proclamation in the concert hall of the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM). After the ceremony, they got a chance to catch up with their former professors and fellow students at the end-of-the-year celebration.

Musical interpretation never fails to hit at KCB

The graduation ceremony was beautifully framed by a performance from AER CLAVE, student ensemble. As the celebration continued with two dynamic jazz bands: Charanga Band & Banda Bruselas, who brought rhythm, joy, and dancing to the evening. To round off the night, DJ KENZA delivered a vibrant closing set, ensuring the party ended on a high note.
