My unpopular opinion is that Nigeria needs to stop! We need to pause and acknowledge the trauma we are living through. Unions need to go on strike. Everyone needs to take a week long moment of silence. Going on like nothing is happening, is inhumane and insane. Phew!

On Saturday April 18, my colleague Sarah Le Van Seaman (Violin/Voice) and I performed live at the FIGS Graduate Conference. Our program titled ‘Latent Musical Histories: Vocality, Ephemerality, and the Folk Tradition’ included music by Severac, Händel, Schumann, and Viadort.

Listen to the second movement (scherzo) from our performance of Pauline Viardot’s Sonatina in A Minor for Violin and Piano.

Note on the piano: The model is Erard, a 19th century historic French instrument! Quite fitting for the program considering our performance of works by French composers.
