The Music Bus and Children’s Music Theater

The Music Bus is a mobile music school that provides music activities for children from all ethnic backgrounds in the warn-torn Srebrenica region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the Children’s Music Theater in Srebrenica, children from all backgrounds learn the arts of singing, dancing, acting, stagecraft, costuming and production. In the shadow of ethnic war, music workshops and creative collaboration unclench fists and unlock hearts.

Srebrenica
No place recalls the trauma caused by the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina more profoundly than the municipality of Srebrenica, where more than 8,000 men and boys were killed. Since the end of the war, the entire region has struggled to recover its vitality and sense of community.

The Music Bus in Schools
With the strong support of school administrators and teachers, community center administrators and parents, the Music Bus now offers workshops in schools and community centers in Srebrenica and outlying mountain villages.

The Children’s Music Theater

The Music Bus team has started Children’s Music Theater in the center of Srebrenica, offering classes in music, dance, and drama to children from both rural areas and the town. In partnership with Opera Circus from the UK, the Children’s Music Theater produces musicals for the public drawing children and their parents together in unique examples of interethnic cooperation for a region still divided by ethnic conflict.
