For these reasons, MUSON is acclaimed as one of the greatest voluntary efforts in aid of the arts in any country in the world.

Yet, the Musical Society of Nigeria is registered as a charity and receives no public funding from State or Federal Government. The vital work it does in support and promotion of the Arts, since its inception, would not have been possible without the generous grants, sponsorships and donations by its corporate and individual partners and supporters.
