The level of precision and professionalism displayed by the
Halifield School Band – the oldest of the band was 11years and the youngest six
years – was quite unexpected for teenagers who could have been passed on as
greenhorns. Guests who witnessed their performance at the Appreciation Concert
organized by the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON) in honour of MTN Foundation
were enthralled by their skill and dexterity at handling different musical
instruments in entertaining the unsuspecting crowd.
The Donors Appreciation Concert which entered its 10th edition this year was put together by the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON), to show appreciation to all donors including MTN Foundation, the Corporate Social Investment vehicle of the telecommunications giant for its sponsorship initiative in the last nine years.
There were different
musical performances showcased at the concert, ranging from Vocal
Ensemble, African Music Ensemble, Poetry, Opera, School band etc. by the
students who have just completed the first year of their two-year scholarship
from MTN Foundation.

Mrs. Marion Akpata, Director of MUSON School of Music,
commended MTN Foundation for its nine years commitment to grooming the next
generation of music scholars. “MUSON has grown under the care of MTN
Foundation, and for this we are eternally grateful. In these nine years of your

generosity,” she said.

MTN the opportunity to touch lives and to pave way for a beautiful Christmas
celebration with the beautiful and melodious renditions which we have come to
enjoyed.

The MTNF/MUSON project commenced in 2006, when MUSON
approached the Foundation to assist students with modest means, who might not
be able to pay the fees needed to run the Diploma programme. In response, the
Foundation surprised the institution by providing scholarships to all the
students. To date, a total of over 200 students have graduated from the music
school in a nine-year period. The graduands have gone ahead to prove their
mettle in their chosen areas of specialization.
