Kora player Tunde Jegede presents a programme of his own compositions based on the life and work of Joseph Antonio Emidy. Enslaved as a child from West Africa to Brazil, Emidy ended up living most of his adult life in Cornwall as a prolific and prominent musician and composer. A commission from David Matthews and several works by Harrison Birtwistle also feature this week as well as many other English pieces including Vaughan Williams’ Flos Campi and London Symphony. David Titterington’s performance in St Andrew’s Church in Plymouth continues the theme, including works by Elgar and York Bowen.
