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. Experience the diversity of musical forms as we journey through classical compositions, spirited folk rhythms, 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 featuring Volkan Efe (oud, ney, kanun, tanbur, voice); Theresa Thompson (violin, bendir); Fatih Acun (baglama, cura, voice); Juliann Ma (piano, voice, bendir) & Michael K. Harrist (yaylı tanbur, bendir, voice).Doors open at 7pm. Cabaret seating. BYOB & snacks.
