Cellist Ayangade performs March 9 and 23 at AMP
(NORTH BETHESDA, MD)- Strathmore’s Artist in Residence (AIR) season continues with cellist Titilayo “Titi” Ayangade as she offers her eclectic sound as a member of 2022 cohort – March 9 and 23 at 8 p.m. at AMP by Strathmore, in North Bethesda’s Pike and Rose. In addition to her performances, she will conduct a special workshop, Say Something! An Exploration of Different Musical Voices at Strathmore’s historic Mansion on March 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Cellist Titilayo “Titi” Ayangade enjoys commissioning new music as well as performing with orchestras and chamber ensembles. She is also dedicated to spotlighting musicians of color and giving voice to underrepresented artists through exciting collaborations with unlimited expression.
“I’m inspired by anyone who seems free, said Ayangade. “Free from outside censorship and standing strong and tall in their own persona.”
Ayangade has a degree in performance from University of Cincinnati and University of Texas at Austin. Currently, she is pursuing a doctor of music arts degree at the University of Maryland as part of the award-winning fellowship ensemble in residence, Thalea String Quartet.
