🎶 Crossroads of Sound: A Melodic Journey through Makams of Turkey, Azerbaijan, and the Balkans 🎶


At the convergence of cultures and melodies, where traditions intertwine and harmonies flourish, we invite you to join us for an extraordinary musical experience - "Crossroads of Sound". This unique concert transcends borders and genres, showcasing the shared makam tradition that binds Turkey, Azerbaijan, and the Balkans in a tapestry of sound.


Experience the diversity of musical forms as we journey through classical compositions, spirited folk rhythms, ethereal Sufi chants, and daring improvisations. Witness the fusion of traditional and contemporary as ancient Middle Eastern instruments such as the oud, baglama, and ney merge seamlessly with Western counterparts like the piano and violin. The musical dialogue between these instruments creates a captivating symphony, echoing the harmonious coexistence of diverse worlds and musical forms.


"Crossroads of Sound" is not merely a concert; it's a celebration of artistic unity and cross-cultural dialogue. This remarkable event is a gateway to an afternoon where the threads of tradition blend harmoniously, showcasing the mastery of musicians who have devoted themselves to the pursuit of musical excellence.
