Music and Intelligence

Does musical competence influence intelligence? 


Is intelligence an indicator of musical potential?


What makes music a pleasant sensory experience?


Have you ever thought about these questions? 


Look no further, this year the WMC is focusing on "Music and Intelligence". 


PATRONAGE RECEIVED FROM unesco uk

The British Carnatic Choir is very grateful for the excellent support it has received from UNESCO UK in believing in our vision- to elicit further national and global change through our conference, in the fields of world music and education and it's role in social cohesion and promoting a sense of well-being.

Message of support from Oscar and Academy r winning Indian Musician, Composer and Educator - Dr.A.R.Rahman

Music moves us.

The fact that music evokes emotion is obvious. And not only does it make us feel happy or sad. Music has a unique ability to inspire changes in individuals and society.

There is no doubt that music promotes positive development, and it is therefore crucial that children and adults, according to the International Music Councils' five music rights, are given the right and opportunity to express themselves musically in all freedom. 

It is with great pleasure I take note of the 6th Annual World Music Conference theme: “Music to promote physical health in children and adolescents.” as it is essential to raise awareness of both the risk factors of an unhealthy way of living as the improvement that can be made through behavioural change through increased exercise adherence and participation. 

I wish you an inspiring conference!

Celebrating 7 successful years!

This year marks the 7th Anniversary of the World Music Conference!

The World Music Conference (WMC) organised by the British Carnatic Choir is the flagship event in the Midlands. This conference strives to bring together the youth, artists, musicians, professionals of all age groups, faith, race and cultural backgrounds, in an attempt to share good values, practices, knowledge, common values and to promote peace, harmony and unity.

It has been a very enriching 7 year journey so far, nurturing useful partnerships and collaborations, thereby, believing in our vision and values. There have been some very meaningful dialogues and panel discussions with experts, highlighting the conference themes each year. Another distinguishing feature is that the conference takes great pride in engaging and connecting with children and adolescents each year by giving them opportunities to take pride in their culture and traditions and contribute to their overall wellbeing.

Over the years, the conference has received patronage from various reputed organisations and individuals, who kindly extended their support. These collaborations differ, as each year, we explore different themes alongside our primary goal of using music for cultural integration and appreciation. The conference patrons and governing members are very grateful to all those who have extended their support in the past and we look forward to many partnerships in the coming years.

We are looking forward to eliciting further national and global change through our conference, in the fields of world music and it's role in social cohesion and promoting a sense of well-being.

Join us in this year’s conference addressing "music to promote physical health and wellbeing of children and adolescents" alongside likeminded individuals!
