Guest violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport will be performing student composers’ new works, as well as some repertoire.
Born and raised in Munich, Germany, violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport was born into the musical family of American soprano Africa Yarbo-Davenport and the late Austrian conductor Hans Peter Jillich. Anyango regularly performs in such notable venues as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Royal Festival Hall London, Teatro Mayor Bogotá, Mozarteum Saal Salzburg, and Teatro Colon and can be heard on radio and TV in the US, South America, and Europe.
Ms. Yarbo-Davenport is the winner of numerous awards, including the prestigious Theodore Presser Scholar Award, International Competition for Romantic Music, IBLA World Competition Italy, Jugend Musiziert Germany, Alpen-Adria Wettbewerb, MTNA USA, the Rotary Club Salzburg Prize, among others. Anyango’s upcoming recording Invisible Threads —works for violin and piano by Bartok, Messiaen, and a commissioned sonata by composer Juan Antonio Cuellar—was awarded the coveted research prize of the Banco Santander de Colombia with additional sponsorship of the Banco de la República de Colombia.
