Derya Türkan & Murat Aydemir
Turkish Classical Music
September 2005 - West Coast Tour
 |
Golden Horn Productions is very
pleased to announce a concert tour of California by Ahenk
Duo consisting of renowned musicians Derya Türkan and
Murat Aydemir. This tour is a rare opportunity in the United
States to hear these master musicians live in concert.
Ahenk, which
means harmony in Turkish, represents the musical union of
Murat Aydemir on tanbur (long-necked lute) and Derya Türkan
on classical kemençhe (3-stringed Turkish fiddle).
The Ahenk Duo performs well-known works of Turkish music by
such masters as Tanburi Cemil Bey, Udi Serif Muhittin Targan,
and Tanburi Necip Gülses. Their performances also include
solo and joint taksims (improvisations) in various makams.
Murat Aydemir is best known for his work with Incesaz, a groundbreaking
trio performing new interpretations of Turkish popular and
classical music. Aydemir has performed with the prestigious
Ministry of Culture’s Government Ensemble and Classical
Music Chorus in Istanbul. Derya Türkan is a master kemençe
(kemenche) player whose musical life is dedicated to Tanburi
Cemil Bey. Derya Turkan is equally proficient in improvisational
playing and the Ottoman & Turkish classical music and
traditional repertoire. Also a member of Incesaz, Türkan
has performed around the world alongside such masters as Alâeddin
Yavasça, Bekir Sidki Sezgin, Erol Deran and various
prestigious ensembles.
