Makam Trio offers a unique musical experience that bridges the rich tradition of Ottoman and Turkish classical music with contemporary interpretation and improvisation. With the enchanting sound of the ney, the deep resonance of the oud, and the subtle accompaniment of percussion, the trio invites the audience on a spiritual journey through the ancient makams — modal systems in Turkish classical music characterized by microtonal intervals, nuanced melodic progression, and expressive contours that evoke distinct emotional and aesthetic atmospheres.Makam Trio began as a duo, arising from the musical encounter between Mevlüt Akgüngör (ney and tanbur) and Robert Micin (oud). Along with Hilde De Clercq (percussion and vocals), they perform pieces from the vast repertoire of Turkish classical and mystic Sufi music, including taksims, peshrevs, ilahis, and sazsemais, but also contemporary compositions in various makams.
The three musicians, each a master of their craft, share a passion for authentic expression and musical dialogue. Their interplay is refined, meditative, and captivating, appealing to both connoisseurs and new listeners alike.
