Strings and keys
brought together classical music lovers at the MUSON Classical Concert on 20th
October, 2013, when Etisalat Nigeria sponsored the exclusive event, as part of
MUSON Music Festival, held at the MUSON Centre in Onikan, Lagos. The 10-day
annual Festival, which began on the 17th of October, also lit the Centre with
jazz, drama and dance, coinciding with the Centre’s 30th anniversary on the
25th.
Breathtaking
performances were delivered by two guest artistes from Germany, Professor Ulf
Klausenitzer on the violin and Ms. Manami Sano on the piano, both of whom
performed alongside MUSON Artistic Director, Maestro Thomas Kanitz on the
Cello. The classical night also featured a selection of African classical
works. A star performance by Nigeria’s renowned Pianist, Ayo Bankole Jnr.,
received an ovation for Yoruba folk songs astonishingly rendered from a grand
piano.
Chief Commercial Officer, Etisalat Nigeria, Mathew Willsher, said the telco remains proud to support the incredible work the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON) is doing. ‘At Etisalat, it is a priority for us to support the arts and culture. It is our way of sharing the passion of our subscribers and supporting causes such as this one, which make an impact in the classical music community,” he said.
