On Monday, January 22, Chibuike received exciting news and a great honor. He is one of a select few invited to perform at the prestigious Muson School of Music in Lagos, Nigeria. The musicians selected scored the highest after auditions and interviews held across Nigeria. The concert will be presented Saturday, February 24, in Agip Hall at Muson Center.
Chibuike attended the auditions and interviews held in Port Harcourt, state of Rivers, Nigeria, this past November. The auditions and interviews were in coordination with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, an international music education support and standards organization.
Chibuike Victor is a 19-year old cellist from the city of Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria, located approximately 475 km (295 miles) from Nigeria’s largest city-state, Lagos. He is currently working with his mentor, world class British cellist, Michael Kevin Jones, to select the solo piece to be performed.
We need to get him to Lagos and ask for your additional support. To contribute to the cost of his travel and lodging for the performance, you can give through a GoFundMe account that has already support the Port Harcourt audition, a new cello, a piano, and other essential items to assist the highly talented musician.
