British International School of Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our talented students in the Nord Anglia Young Musician of the Year 2025 competition.

This year’s competition was the most challenging to date, with the number of categories significantly reduced from over 100 to just 39. This meant that students from across the global Nord Anglia Education family were competing in far fewer categories, increasing the level of competition dramatically.

Despite these changes, BSKL students rose to the occasion and achieved remarkable success—securing four winning entries and three runners-up places across a range of musical disciplines.
