Girma Yifrashewa, Ethiopian Pianist, Performs in Washington, D.C. March 1


AfriClassical.com has been proud to present the amazing life and career of Girma Yifrashewa, Ethiopian classical pianist and composer for several years. He was born in Addis Ababa on October 15, 1967, and first saw a piano at age 16, yet he overcame many obstacles to earn a Master's Degree in piano performance in Sofia, Bulgaria. On the day before his birthday in 2007 AfriClassical published an article with audio samples of all six tracks of his 2006 CD “Elilta” (“Cry of Joy”).

On Saturday, March 1 at 6:00 P.M., Girma Yifrashewa will give a piano recital in Washington, D.C. at Howard University College of Medicine, Third Floor, Auditorium #3019. Girma has a website of his own, in English and German: http://girma.farbkonstrukt.de/
