Watar Music and Arts Academy

Watar Academy marked its anniversary with an official ceremony in Doha, reaffirming its position as a leading platform for music and performing arts within the Lebanese community in the State of Qatar.

The celebration was held in the distinguished presence of His Excellency Bilal Kabalan, Ambassador of the Lebanese Republic to Qatar, alongside prominent public figures, diplomats, cultural leaders, and representatives of the Lebanese community.

Since its founding in 2019, Watar Academy has evolved from an independent initiative into a recognized cultural institution dedicated to nurturing artistic excellence, preserving Lebanese identity abroad, and empowering a new generation of performers through structured training, major stage productions, and international participation.

The anniversary event showcased the Academy’s continued growth, professional standards, and expanding impact within the cultural landscape. It further highlighted Watar Academy’s commitment to strengthening cultural ties and elevating Lebanese artistic presence in Qatar.

This milestone stands as a testament to sustained vision, institutional discipline, and the unwavering support of students, families, partners, and community leaders.

Watar Academy continues its mission with greater ambition and broader horizons.

Some days are not about winning.
They are about proving who you are.

What happened on that stage was not easy.
It was a long day.
Heavy hearts.
Tired bodies.
Moments of doubt.

But still… they danced.

They danced with discipline.
With courage.
With unity.

Second place is not a number.
It is the result of early mornings, late rehearsals,
of falling… and standing up again together.

To our dancers:
You carried responsibility bigger than your age.
You stood strong under pressure.
You represented Watar Academy with honor.
And today, we are proud—beyond words.

To our parents:
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for waiting, trusting, believing.
Thank you for investing in your children’s passion, even when the journey was not easy.
This achievement is yours as much as it is theirs.

A heartfelt thank you to our committee parents,
and
You were present when no one saw.
You supported when it mattered most.
This moment carries your fingerprint.

And special thanks to Salon Manal el Mendelek
for taking care of our girls’ look,
for giving them confidence,
and helping them step on stage
