The MUSON Symphony Orchestra (MSO), founded in July 2005 with 40 members, gave its debut concert later in the same year under the direction of Paul Konye, the pioneer Conductor. The founding of the Orchestra was one major achievement on the list of MUSON’s planned artistic development.
The Orchestra is Nigeria’s only professional Symphony Orchestra and it is carving a niche for itself because of its high performance standard and its varied repertoire of works from Europe, through the Americas to music of African origin. More photos after the cut
The MSO recorded more successes under the direction of Thomas Kanitz, who was the Artistic Director and Orchestra Conductor between 2011 and 2014. It played a very prominent role in the staging of Mozart’s Magic Flute, which was performed in German. The performance was so well received that it was staged three times within a period of six months due to popular demand.
The MSO, in collaboration with Christ Church Cathedral, Lagos, performed two memorable Christmas Concerts in 2012 and 2013. The Orchestra also performed at the 2013 Oil Industry Award Ceremony of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN).
The MUSON Symphony Orchestra is available to perform for clients.
