Ajibola Rivers Biography
Ajibola Rivers is a Nigerian-Cherokee performing artist currently residing in Norristown, PA.. He received his Cello Performance degree from the Temple University Boyer College of Music and Dance. Ajibola is also a self-taught composer and arranger. He began informally composing during his junior year of high school. When he applied to Boyer, he applied for a Music Composition degree as well as Cello Performance. He was accepted into a double major program but quickly found that the popularized twentieth and twenty first century writing styles were not in line with his interests. Ajibola left the program and after a two-year hiatus he resumed composing, following his own instincts. He now regularly writes and premieres original compositions and arrangements, and he has been commissioned several times.
Ajibola has a unique passion for teaching, viewing it as the final evolution of performing art, and he heavily incorporates learning into both composition and performing. He wishes to revive several "unfinished conversations" in classical music and to facilitate a healthy dialogue between classical music and other genres.
