Dr. ephraim amu memorial concert hall
Dr. Ephraim Amu expressed a wish for a memorial concert hall to be built at his hometown Avetile, Peki to serve as a theatre museum and a cultural centre to train the youth of the world in African music. Indeed it was a vision that he carried throughout his life. The model of the hall, found on the home-page, is designed by his first grandson, Senyo Atiase.
