The Show Must Go On, a musical event in honour of the founder of AMEMUSO, Madam Cecilia Toledo de Schmillen, and their partners, was held at the Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel on 5 June 2011. Madam Cecilia Schmillen (also known as Cecilia Toledo) wife of the Ambassador of Germany to Nigeria, is leaving Nigeria finally. The Show Must Go On concert was held as AMEMUSO’s way of thanking all friends for the support. She says the dream of AMEMUSO is to “bequeath a lasting legacy in the performing arts for Nigerians” – and that like Oliver Twist, they are going to be asking for more as they move on to the next phase of the Abuja Performing Arts Centre (APAC) development project.
Madam de Schmillen said she will be visiting Nigeria “at least three times a year” to continue what she has started here in Abuja. If and when her vision will materialise, it will definitely change the artistic landscape not only of the FCT but also the whole of Nigeria. Partners of AMEMUSO include the following: Transcorp Hilton, Unity Bank, German Embassy, French Embassy, Parmigiani, Cool FM, Total, U.L.O Consultants, Brunel, Next, Julius Berger Nigeria, The Guardian, Luxury Concepts, and Dantata & Sawoe.
