About Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou:
"This is some of my favorite music, so much so that I had to start notating and learning to play it as soon as I heard it. (Ethiopiques Vol. 21) Although it was likely notated at one point in time, to the best of my knowledge there are no known available scores. Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou has only performed once in the past 40 years, so the opportunity to share this music with people by playing it live is very special! It is indescribably beautiful.
Tsegue Maryam Guebrou was born in Ethiopia in 1923, educated in Switzerland, Italy, and Egypt, and currently lives as a nun in Jerusalem. She was motivated to record her music to raise money for the orphans she teaches. Please visit http://www.emahoymusicfoundation.org/ to learn more about how you can help her fulfill this goal! Her music is truly a gift."
