New Friendships and Great Vibes at The Rock Academy Holiday Programme

When Iris and Yara met for the first time at The Rock Academy holiday programme, it was instant friendship! These two talented young musicians hit it off straight away, bringing loads of laughter, creativity, and fun to the EBIS Hall.

While at the hall, Iris and Yara could often be found giggling over a friendly game of table tennis, joining in on wild ball games, and of course—jamming together on their instruments. They shared lunches, sat together during busking sessions, and supported each other through every performance. Their connection was so natural, and by the end of the week, they were practically inseparable.

In the photo below, you can see them performing side by side, busking together and having an absolute blast. Moments like these remind us why The Rock Academy holiday programme is so special—it’s not just about learning music, it’s about building friendships and memories that can last a lifetime.
