Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, an Ethiopian nun, composer and pianist, has died at the age of 99.
As a child, Emahoy spent time as a prisoner of war and went on to study under the Polish violinist Alexander Kontorowicz in Cairo. She released her first album in 1967, donating proceeds to those in need, and continued to use money made from her music to help raise aid for Ethiopian children orphaned by war. The Emahoy Tsege Mariam Music Foundation was also established to help children in need to study music.
Her music has been used in the Oscar-nominated 2020 documentary Time and in Rebecca Hall’s Netflix drama Passing. Over her life, Guèbrou composed more than 150 original works of music for piano, organ, opera and chamber ensembles. We celebrate this prolific artist and philanthropic woman.
Beyond numbers and words, what is meaningful representation of young women in politcal decision making?
