All Nigeria Universities Classical Music contest takes centre stage

 

The All Nigeria Universities Classical Music Contest is set to take its debut as an initiative to encourage students’ participation in Classical music within and outside the ivory towers.
The contest is an initiative that pulls students from all Nigerian universities to showcase musical talents in the classical music genre.
According to a statement by the organisers, the festival is aimed at exposing students to practical Classical music beyond their immediate environment and interface with their counterparts from other institutions.
The festival will also showcase the creative abilities of students, and build a sense of success in them, to harness the talents of students, and bring participants to national and international limelight. It added that research has shown that practitioners and listeners of classical music perform better in all spheres of human endeavour, and enhances the socio-economic and cultural development of a society, while it plays a vital role in the education and general development of students.
The organisers said, it is in recognition of this that Campus Classical, is putting up this festival to further challenge university authorities and Music/performing Arts departments to enhance the academic development of their students through intensive music training.
