Featuring a unique combination of prime entertainment, young talent promotion and community development, Christmas Magic! adopts a concert-competition format, therefore making the heart of the show an altruistic effort.
About Christmas Magic! 2012
The focus of Christmas Magic! 2012, as the other two editions, is the education sector. Our objective is the improvement of literacy within selected primary institutions in Lagos State.
Our choice of primary education is premised on the understanding that it forms the basic foundation for learning. It also is our way of contributing to the attainment of the second item of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in our society viz. the achievement of universal primary education.
In the Magi Contest this year, we will be featuring young but seasoned performers competing for 5 community schools in Lagos State. These include: Adekemi Adetula a.k.a Irawo (Talking Drums), Guchi Egbunine (Tenor), Uduak Nsehe (Piano), Emmanuel Fagbohun (Violin), Premier Clarinet Quartet.
