Description
Stefans Grove (*1922), regarded by many as Africas greatest living composer, possesses one of the most distinctive compositional voices of our time. He studied in Cape Town under Erik Chisholm before becoming the first South African to be awarded a Fulbright Scholarship.
He took his Masters at Harvard under Walter Piston, attended Aaron Coplands composition class at the Tanglewood Summer School, and subsequently taught for over a decade at the renowned Peabody Institute in Baltimore before returning to his African roots in the early 1970s.
