"12th European Suzuki Children's Convention"

Perhaps It’s music which will save the world

We believe that music is a seed of hope blooming in the hearts of children.

And we believe that playing together, learning together, and growing together has the power to change the world. With this belief, hundreds of children who have grown up under the light of the Suzuki philosophy will gather in Istanbul in the spring of 2026.

The 12th European Suzuki Children’s Convention will take place from April 3–7, 2026, at the Atatürk Cultural Center.

Suzuki students, their families, and teachers from all across Europe will come together for this special event. Throughout the convention, not only music is shared—but cultures, friendships, and dreams of a shared future as well.

Because we believe:
Perhaps It’s music which will save the world
