New York (TADIAS) – Ethiopian classical pianist and
composer Girma Yifrashewa is scheduled to perform at Issue Project Room
in Brooklyn on Saturday, June 8th.
“A highly accomplished performer of the romantic repertoire,
Yifrashewa has chosen to remain in Ethiopia— where classical music is
far from a dominant practice— forging a classical tradition for his own
country,” organizers said in a press release. “Using traditional tunes
as a foundation, Yifrashewa’s compositions combine the ecstasy of
Ethiopian harmony with the grandeur of virtuoso piano technique into an
effortlessly enjoyable, heady mixture. In this solo piano concert,
Yifrashewa performs works by Chopin, Schumann, Debussy, and Mozart, as
well as a set of his own Ethiopian informed compositions.”
