New Yorkers: I need help with pronunciation

[Sheree Bobbins]

Hi everyone. My son has a solo in a beautiful piece of music called "Ashokan Farewell." How do you pronounce Ashokan?

Yep. The accent is put on the second sylable.
ah-SHOW-can

Thanks very much! We've been playing the Farewell in the last 2 concerts. Last night we played on a quay beside the Fraser River. It was a beautiful setting for a beautiful piece.
