Chris Foley: 'I still have fond memories of playing Akin Euba's The Wanderer for cello and piano with Sue Round'


[Akin Euba]


On April 28, 2012 AfriClassical posted: “Akin Euba, Nigerian Composer & Ethnomusicologist, Professor Emeritus, Univ. of Pittsburgh, is 77 Today.” Chris Foley, our friend in Toronto, added this comment the same day:


“I still have fond memories of playing Akin Euba's The Wanderer for cello and piano with Sue Round (and coaching it with Gyimah Labi) at a Vancouver New Music Concert 12 years ago. Such a richly textured work - I hope I get another chance to perform it one of these days.”
