At Airtel we believe in providing consummate telecom and lifestyle solutions for our customers. We know from our engagement with our high value customers that most of them are classical music enthusiasts hence our decision to partner Addaquay to entertain them with the finest performance.
On his part, Addaquaye, the Classical music expert said, “I deeply appreciate the effort Airtel Ghana is making to promote classical music in Ghana. I thank the Smartphone Network for the partnership and I hope patrons enjoyed the performance.”In 2006, Addaquaye who was then 20, composed, arranged and recorded a first of its kind in Ghana Oratorio comprising of 32 classical songs which he named "Laudate" and had the first live performance of his "Laudate" at the auditorium of the University of Cape Coast in March that year where the premiere lasted two hours. Since then he has performed both locally and internationally to highly excited audiences who gave him standing ovations.
An Oratorio is a large musical work, which contains a succession of choruses, arias (solos), duets and recitatives with orchestral accompaniment. It is also a musical drama in which the choruses and duets serve as commentary while the narrator's recitative relates the story and connects one piece with another.
Airtel is Ghana’s telecommunications innovations and digital space leader. Addaquaye, the classic music icon has in his repertoire a lot of compositions in the vein of Gospel, Highlife, Christmas Carols and Anthems.
