[Dr. Akin Euba, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Music at the University of Pittsburgh]
Chamber Music is popular among contemporary African composers. Canadian Pianist Christopher Foley has written an article on a concert of African Chamber Music in which he participated in March 2000. The works included: The Wanderer by Akin Euba; Four Nigerian Dances by Joshua Uzoigwe; At the Immaculate Beehive by Gyimah Labi; and Antubam by J.H. Kwabena Nketia. Akin Euba is profiled at AfriClassical.com Dr. Foley begins:
“Every so often, I'm privileged to play a concert that resonates with me for years afterwards. One of these took place in early March of 2000, in a concert for Vancouver New Music entitled "The Wanderer: Chamber Music of Africa". Full Article
