Members of the National Symphony Orchestra, one of the three resident groups of the National Theatre, are busy with rehearsals on a musical experience of classical music and hip life concert on March 27, 2024, at the main auditorium of the National Theatre.
Music is a universal language that builds bridges; it transcends age, race, backgrounds and generations and is something that everyone can access.
It has served as an important aspect of culture for centuries and has evolved through generations. However, with time there seems to be the gap between the musical preferences from one generation to another.
It is against this background that the company has explored the use of music as a tool to bridge the perceived gap between generations, by exposing younger generations to the classic music and exposing the older generation to the hip life genre.
The juxtaposition of selected music in the different genres highlights the similarity and acknowledges the differences in two genres.
It will also be a form of music education that will expose the young people to different genres and styles of music, they can develop a deeper appreciation for classics and cultural significance of music.
The concert promises to be an interesting and exhilarating evening of melodious rhythms and sounds. Performance would be done together with a seasoned musician, a producer and a rapper, Isaac Adu Buxton (FIMFIM).
The symphony’s repertoire for the night would include classical music by Edwin Ferguson, featuring Afrocentric, Sompa by Nana Danso Abiam, King’s Motorcade by Matias and Dance Tribute by Fred Onovwerosuoke.
Others are hip life music including Boasiako, The Rapperman, Quora Distance and Kokotaco
