...educational training to live in these two worlds. If they find Africa almost impossible, they will definitely make it in the western world. Some of these intellectuals see the African question as unsolvable, but they have never reached for the impossible, reminiscent of the words of a German sociologist, Max Weber, who asserts that...
...next work, Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, the orchestra was joined by soloist Stephen Chan. The concerto includes the traditional three movements; the first has something of the quality of a dramatic dialogue, alternating the tragic declamation of the solo instrument with the orchestra's solemn thunder.
