DESCRIPTION:Recital: “Story of the Wind” – Piano music by Emahoy and 
 Chopin\n\nMusic DMA candidate Thomas Feng performs well- and lesser-known 
 works by Emahoy\, interspersed with music by her admired Chopin\, for whic
 h scores were found in Emahoy’s room following her passing this past spr
 ing. Following Ghanaian musicologist Kofi Agawu’s proposed analytical fr
 amework of “strategic sameness”\, this program seeks to illuminate par
 allels between the two composers\, challenging the conception of Emahoy’
 s music as exotically\, incommensurably “Other”\, while also destabili
 zing received understandings of Chopin’s music as canonically unmarked. 
 An alternation of laments\, reminiscences\, mazurkas\, and (especially) wa
 ltzes culminates in a performance of Emahoy’s sprawling\, unrecorded “
 Grande Valzer Improvisata”\, inspired by Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina\, and
  composed at the outset of the Ethiopian Revolution.\n\nThis event is part
  of a two-day symposium\, titled Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru at 100\, celebr
 ating the music and life of the legendary Ethiopian composer\, pianist\, a
 nd nun\, Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru. The events will include panel discussi
 ons about Emahoy’s life and archive\, and presentations of Emahoy’s mu
 sic (some never yet performed) in live concert performances\, and from her
  personal recordings. All events will be free and open to the public\, and
  hosted on Cornell’s campus.\n\nThis symposium is generously co-sponsore
 d by the Cornell Music Department\, Cornell Council for the Arts\, the Ins
 titute for Comparative Modernities\, Cornell Africana Studies and Research
  Center\, the Institute for African Development\, the Cornell Center for H
 istorical Keyboards\, Society for the Humanities\, the Jian and Tran Famil
 y Charitable Fund\, the Music Graduate Association\, and Cornell Centers f
 or Equity\, Empowerment\, and Belonging.
