Peace is of utmost importance if any nation is to advance in her democracy. However, since Nigeria gained independence as a sovereign nation, it has been plagued with various forms of conflict that threaten its existence and sovereignty. The concomitant issues bedeviling national unity and peace have spread to Nigeria’s electoral processes, and although several approaches have been taken to remedy and promote national and social cohesion, Nigeria’s existence as a nation even in its 4^th republic has never been so threatened as it is today; ethnic and religious concerns have continued to heighten various levels of conflicts as well as shape the electoral procedures in the nation. It is upon this premise, pulling from the social cognitive theory that this paper seeks to beam its searchlight on interrogating how art music performance can be harnessed towards conflict resolution and promotion of electoral peace. It proposes that music, being an integral part of society bears high potency towards societal engineering. The paper observes that peace is integral to national growth and should be pursued at all cost if the unity of the nation is to be sustained. The current state of the nation demands that all social measures should be employed in championing the course for peace and art music poses lots of potentials in the advocacy for peace.
