Erol Sayan Celebrates His 70th Artistic Year with a Concert at Pera Museum

Pera Museum continues its journey through the rich tapestry of Turkish music with its 'Turkish Music Concerts' series. A recent concert titled '70. Sanat Yılında Erol Sayan' (Erol Sayan in His 70th Artistic Year) was dedicated to the works of the esteemed artist Erol Sayan. Attendees were treated to a selection of his compositions, which are known for spanning various traditional modes, or 'makams'.

A Tribute to a Musical Maestro

Erol Sayan, whose musical repertoire contains over 300 compositions in different forms and makams, shared insights into his creative process with the audience before the performances. This event not only celebrated the extensive career of Sayan but also showcased the depth of Turkish classical music through his lens.

Continuing the Musical Heritage

Looking ahead, the Pera Museum confirms it will maintain the vibrancy of its 'Turkish Music Concerts' series. The next event on the calendar is a concert honoring Alaeddin Yavaşça, another maestro of Turkish music, scheduled for the following month, ensuring the continuation of this cultural legacy.
