About the Artist

Prof. Godwin Sadoh, a 21st-century trailblazer in the dissemination of Nigerian art music globally, is a composer, church musician, pianist, organist, choral conductor, ethnomusicologist, and prolific publishing scholar with almost 200 stellar publications to his credit, including 12 academic books. These publications have been cataloged in some of the most prestigious archival centers and universities around the world, including the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Libraries (African Arts), Harvard University Library, Yale University Library, Dartmouth College Library, Columbia University Libraries, Cornell University Library, Center for Black Music Research, Bayreuth University Library, Kwazulu Natal University Library in South Africa, Music Library of the University of Pretoria also in South Africa, etc.

In 2004 at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Sadoh distinguished himself as the first African to earn a doctoral degree in organ performance from any institution in the world. Before this feat, he received an MA in ethnomusicology (African Music) from the University of Pittsburgh (1998), and an MMus in organ performance and church music from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2000).

The sage has received several music commissions and awards for his beautiful compositions at the international level including the ASCAP PLUS Award for over 20 years in recognition of the performances and recordings of his compositions worldwide. Sadoh has over one hundred videos of his compositions on YouTube performed by top-notch musicians from across the world. Several theses and Ph.D. dissertations have been written on his compositions in Nigeria, France, Italy, and the United States. 2019 turned out to be a very remarkable year for the connoisseur of classical music. First, the African Concert Series London ascribed the title, “father of modern Nigerian Classical Music” to him. Second, he won the Special Prize with his composition, Egba Musical Totem for String Quartet, at the International Composition Competition in Malta. On 15 April 2023, the don was specially honored at the International Africa Lyric's Opera Competition in Paris, France. A special prize was given in his name, tagged, “Prize of the best interpretation of the imposed aria in African Language, written by Nigerian composer, Godwin Sadoh (Orin Ayo, Yoruba)."

In the United States, the luminary received the Alvin Hatton Organ Scholarship, Spectacular Concert Scholarship, Dora Dean Emerson Memorial Music Fellowship, American Guild of Organists Student Scholarship, and Dean’s Scholarship. In 2003, he was elected into the Beta Lambda Chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society, recognizing and acknowledging the highest level of musical achievement and academic scholarship at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.

His music has been performed and recorded by award-winning artists, ensembles, choral groups, and orchestras, in all six continents. Sadoh has taught at several higher institutions in the United States including the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was a LEADS Scholar and Professor of Music at the National Universities Commission in Abuja, Nigeria. Sadoh's biography is listed in the Contemporary African Database, Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology, Marquis’s Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, and Who's Who in the World.
