Classical music is a style of music steeped in antiquity.
Composers, conductors, musicians and orchestras globally are challenging this stuffy stereotype by introducing novel concepts and practices into it.
Although classical music and its many offshoots have a small, close-knit community in Nigeria, the MUSON Centre has been unyielding in its commitment to promoting and fostering classical music and musicals.
While the genre might be largely appealing to older Nigerians, it is now finding its way towards younger audiences.
We spoke to the Chairperson of the Musical Society of Nigeria, Louis Mbanefo about the work the center is putting in to attract young people.
