Flagship Ceremonial Events & Partnerships
The International Stage Events serves as the head organiser of the London College of Music Examinations (LCME) – University of West London Graduation Ceremonies in Asia, including:
Bali, Indonesia — 2023 (Under different company name)
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre — 25 April 2026
These landmark graduation events are led by Director Mr. David Cadlum Saraza, FLCM, ALCM(TD) and bring together graduates, teachers, families, and artistic institutions to celebrate academic achievement and musical excellence.
International Stage Music & Performing Arts Competition
One of the flagship programmes of International Stage Events is the International Stage Music & Performing Arts Competition (formerly the Youth Ambassador Performing Arts Festival).
This annual competition brings together performers of all ages from across Asia and beyond, offering a professional yet inspiring platform for musicians, dancers, vocalists, and performing artists to showcase their craft in an environment that values fairness, artistry, and cultural exchange.
What began as a youth celebration has evolved into an inclusive competition open to children, youth, and adults. Our mission is to give every performer—emerging or experienced—the opportunity to express their passion, gain confidence, and grow through exposure to high-level performance standards.
Unlike commercially-driven events, this competition is organised and directed by real musicians, real educators, and real performing artists—people who understand the artistic journey because they have lived it. This is what makes our event uniquely authentic.
We work closely with respected adjudicators and institutional partners such as the London College of Music Examinations (LCME) of the University of West London and Transinex Singapore, ensuring evaluations that are professional, fair, and educational in value.
Affiliation to Music Education Networks
In support of music education pathways and international certification, International Stage Events is affiliated with institutions that serve as LCME Public Exam Centres, including:
London Music School Jakarta (Indonesia)
Saraza Music Center (Philippines)
These partnerships create access to formal assessments, training, and future academic progression for young musicians.
Our Vision Moving Forward
As we continue to expand across Southeast Asia, International Stage Events remains committed to fostering artistic excellence, lifelong learning, and meaningful cultural exchange. We look forward to building communities of performers, educators, and arts advocates, and to welcoming you to future editions of our programmes and ceremonies.
