LEVANTINE RHAPSODY | Didem Basar, kanun

To celebrate the Muslim festival Eid al-Adha, Turkish kanun virtuoso Didem Basar intertwines two influences: Turkish and Western classical music. The dialogue is enriched by Turkish maqams (modes), ornate rhythmic cycles and astonishing improvisation, blended with compositions that have a distinctly impressionist approach.

A quartet of artists familiar to MB1800 from the beloved Constantinople programs distinguish our series in its embrace of early musics from around the world.

Co-presented with The World Music Institute

“Continuum is the cry of all those who have died and been forgotten.”
– Didem Basar
