On 30th December 2018 the ESNCM held the first event in a year-long celebration of the 25th anniversary of its establishment. In the Naseeb Shaheen Auditorium of Birzeit University, 1300 audience members enjoyed a program which included a symphony orchestra of ESNCM teachers, students and alumni; an Arab music orchestra of 21 musicians; ensembles playing original compositions by ESNCM teachers; and a solo piano piece composed by Amin Nasser - one of the founders of the ESNCM and its first director. A similar celebratory concert was also held in Jerusalem’s Yabous Cultural Center on 3rd January 2019, under the umbrella of the Layali al-Quds (Jerusalem Nights) Festival.
