A Tribute to the ethiopian composer Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou

Email Site web Booking
Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou is one of the most fascinating figures in Ethiopian music. Influenced by both Ethiopian tradition and European classical and romantic music, her music is unlike any other. Nostalgic and minimalist, it can evoke Chopin as well as Duke Ellington, Satie, or Alice Coltrane. This solitary body of work, created in the privacy of a prison cell, is now being rediscovered and celebrated around the world.
Maya Dunietz, her official interpreter, will perform this concert. She will perform solo renditions of published pieces as well as numerous unpublished works in her possession, including pieces for piano and voice sung in French, German, English, and Amharic.

The second part features Sosena Gebre Eyesus, one of the greatest performers of the begena. This large ten-stringed lyre is a sacred and royal instrument in the Ethiopian tradition.

Maya Dunietz, piano
Soena Gebre Eyesus, begena
