The Barefooted Pianist Nun | the story of composer Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou

Let us tell you the story of the barefooted pianist nun... 🎹 📖 Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou was an Ethiopian composer and pianist who led a fascinating life.
From growing up in aristocratic circles to dedicating a decade to a barefooted religious retreat atop a mountain, Emahoy’s captivating piano music manages to encompass her entire 99-year-long life.
We celebrate the story of Emahoy and so many more of music’s lost pioneers during Sound Within Sound. Join us at the Southbank Centre for four days of sensational musical experiences where we uncover the lives and works of international artists who pushed the boundaries of sound, inspired by Kate Molleson's book of the same name.

She's so amazing. I discovered her music from this cool show with only one season called Forever with Fred armisen and Maya Rudolph. This seems like such a cool channel.
