Following the success of the maiden edition of Campus Classicals in
2016, Classical Showcase Limited,
promoters of the competition recently unveiled and announced the commencement
of Campus Classicals Season 2 across
Nigerian Higher institutions.
Campus Classicals is aimed at exposing music students and talents within
Nigeria’s Higher Institutions to practical classical music and other genres of
music beyond their immediate learning environment and also to interface with
their counterparts from other institutions by bringing participating
schools/students to national and international limelight.
According to Sylvester Obriko, Managing Director, Classical
Showcase, Campus Classicals is Nigeria’s first of its kind higher institution
musical competition that hinges on classical music, yet making room for other
genres of music. It aims to further challenge school authorities and
music/performing arts departments to enhance the academic development of their
students through intensive music training and competition.
At a recent unveiling event of Campus Classicals
Season 2 in Lagos, Sylvester Obriko said
“The competition is becoming a big
deal as Campus Classicals Season 2 promises to be bigger and better with over
20 Higher Institutions spread across all 6 Geo-political Zones in Nigeria who
have confirmed their participation”.
Sylvester further said that,
“Campus Classicals Season 2 will
have a maximum of 30 schools participating. There will be three zonal finals,
one for each zone; South East, South West, and Abuja. The grand finale will
hold in Lagos on November 2019.
He confirmed that Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka
will host the Sout- East Zonal Qualifier while Leeds City University, Ibadan will host the South
West Zonal Qualifier; the Northern Zone qualifier will hold in Abuja and MUSON Center, Lagos
will be the venue of the grand finale”
Also, present at the unveiling, Professor Anthony Mereni,
a Professor of Musicology and one of the consultants for Campus Classicals said
“ Campus Classicals Season 2 will
have a bigger impact on the campus communities even beyond the Season 1 which
saw the University of Nigeria Nsukka and Delta State University emerge First
and Second positions in a competition that showed the enormous musical talents
groomed by erudite music tutors in the 8 schools that participated ”.
To enable brands to maximize the enormous marketing opportunities in the 3
months build-up to the grand finale across the participating schools, CSL announced ZOYA Media Limited as
its official Marketing Company for Campus Classicals Season 2.
On her part, Nwogo Onyejepu, Managing Director of ZOYA Media
Limited, said,
”we believe that corporate
organizations and individuals with youth-focused products and services can take
advantage of the rewarding partnership opportunities that this 3-month intense
musical competition offers across participating campuses and particularly the
exhibition opportunities at the Zonal finals’ musical Parks”.
She further said that “Campus
Classicals Season 2 offers over 200% ROI to partnering organizations with
unique opportunities to engage over 500,000 Nigerian students consistently for
3 months in over 20 campuses, 3 zonal finals and the grand finale in Lagos”.
