Leon Starker Soloists: Kate Farquharson & Hlumelo Marepula Performed at Hugo Lambrechts Auditorium, Cape Town (16th July 2013) in a joint concert with the Whiffenpoofs of Yale Emarabini South African Traditional "This is a traditional Xhosa song about an orphan. The song asks "who will look after this child, for it is truly without parents?" eMarabini is sung with a new meaning today as South Africa's orphan population continues to increase due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The feeling behind this song is driven by a sense of hope rather than despair; as it was sung to win past struggles, it is now sung to overcome present struggles as well." program notes from "Up To Our Ears" on http://listentolydia.wordpress.com/ Website: www.ctyc.co.za Facebook: www.facebook.com/CapeTownYouthChoir Twitter: @capetownchoir Music available for purchase on iTunes  less

He studied with a full scholarship at Oberlin Conservatory of Music before continuing with his graduate studies at Julliard School of Music.

His compositions have been performed worldwide and been very well received. He is well known for his horn playing and has premiered over 200 works written for him. He worked as a Fulbright Senior Lecturer in Music at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya in 1993-1994 during which time he was greatly influenced by Kenyan music and as a result composed his Missa Kenya in 1995 for SATB chorus, piano and obbligato horn. The Gloria does not require horn or piano but makes use of upbeat syncopated rhythms in the voice parts and percussion which drives a compound rhythm throughout.
