Seda on Bayern 2 Radio

Excerpts from Seda’s upcoming CD “Listening to Istanbul” were featured prominently in a recent German radio show on the state of contemporary music in Turkey. The program, which was produced by the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation, closed with a long section from Özkan Manav’s “Movement 6,” a beautiful piece that brings microtonal inflections of Turkish makams to the concert piano.

You can download a copy of the program, which is authored by the German composer Klaus Hinrich Stahmer, here:

(In case you only want to hear the playing, skip forward to 46:00 minutes.)

Enjoy!

Listening to Istanbul…

As many of you know, right now I am working on a CD and concert project: “Listening to Istanbul”. For this project I have commissioned six piano works by the most talented Turkish composers of our time. I will record this excellent music in June 2010, and perform the pieces in a series of concerts in Turkey, Europe and the US starting in July.

If you would like to learn more about “Listening to Istanbul” here is a video in which I introduce the project. To stay informed about the upcoming CD and the concerts simply sign up for my newsletter or visit us on http://www.newmusicistanbul.com!

This video and many other videos about the project are also available on Listening to Istanbul Website, and on Youtube.

Thanks for watching!

As we have already mentioned, in early January Seda was featured on Acik Radyo, Turkey’s most-renowned independent radio station. During the show “Farazi – Hypothetical,” which is hosted by Yaprak Melike Uyar, Seda talked about her new album “Mozart.Brahms.Berg“, the contemporary music scene in Turkey, as well as her upcoming projects. For those of you who had to miss the live broadcast we just finished uploading a recording of the show.
