THE Heritage Music Museum project initiated by late music aficionado, Chief Femi Esho, has recorded a major milestone with the completion of its event centre component.
Ms Bimbo Esho, Managing Director of Evergreen Musical Company and daughter to late Esho, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
Esho noted that the realisation of the event hall was made possible through the support of Dr D.K. Olukoya, General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries and Patron of the Evergreen Music Heritage Foundation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the facility is part of a broader heritage project envisioned by late Esho to preserve and promote Nigeria’s rich musical history.
According to her, the Heritage Event Hall, designed as a concert and performance venue is the first major structure completed within the proposed music complex.
She said the project, when fully realised, would include a music museum, library, gallery of artistes, exhibition of historical photographs and instruments, recording studio and cinema theatre.
“Dr Olukoya’s financial and moral support has been instrumental in ensuring that the Heritage Event Hall is completed and ready for use.
“Beyond his contributions, Olukoya remains committed to the vision of late Esho and stood by the family following his passing, we really appreciate this,” she said.
Esho noted that the facility was equipped to host concerts, live performances, album launches, corporate events, film screenings and cultural gatherings.
She said it also provides accommodation for artistes and crew involved in late-night performances.
She expressed optimism that the facility would help revive live music culture in Nigeria and provide opportunities for both veteran and emerging artistes.
Esho appreciated the support received so far as she called on stakeholders and the public to contribute toward the completion of other components of the project.
She said the completed complex would serve as a major tourist attraction and a hub for the preservation of Nigeria’s musical heritage. (NAN)
