Kathmandu: In a vibrant exchange of music, cultural heritage, and creativity, artists from 21 countries are set to convene in Kathmandu. The ‘GLOMUS Camp’ international workshop will welcome over 30 universities’ musicians, dancers, and performers for a 10-day event starting tomorrow, as announced by Principal Shishir Upreti of the Nepal Music School Trust.

The workshop will be inaugurated by the Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation, Badri Pandey. Participants will engage in training sessions and showcase their artistic talents.
