Afroclassic Concert By The National Youth Orchestra Of Nigeria

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of musical celebration! The AfroClassic Concert by the National Youth Orchestra of Nigeria is set to light up The Hall at 16, Musa Yar’adua Street, Victoria Island, Lagos on September 6, 2025. This is more than just a concert—it’s a cultural masterpiece where classical grandeur from the west meets vibrant African heritage.

Expect a seamless blend of orchestral sophistication and indigenous rhythms. The orchestra will perform breathtaking renditions of classical staples—but with a twist: also expect arrangements by indigenous composers that spotlight Nigerian percussion, traditional woodwinds, folksongs and storytelling through orchestra music.

Visualize a 70-piece ensemble—strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion—all led by the National Youth Orchestra’s acclaimed visiting German Conductor,  Walter-Michael Vollhardt and the Principal Conductor,  Irene Osuji. 

The evening promises stirring symphonic pieces interwoven with powerful African melodies.
