Evelyn Pursley-Kopitzke is an American African composer. She says, "I was born in Tanzania, Africa, and spent most of my first decade in African countries--where I had a usually delightful childhood. My playmates were my animals, my brother, and the local African children." This Adventist composer has written 'Vignettes from an African Childhood', as well as a variety of choral responses and benedictions. Visit her website and get to know her.
