Makam Music Magazine

Dear readers of music, as autumn arrives, concert programmes are being announced one after another. We genuinely wish you will enjoy a lovely concert season.

In this issue -as the previous ones- various prominent musical individuals analyse their work. Burcu Göktürk, one of the most outstanding representatives of Istanbul’s musical heritage -as a cultural capital its musical roots are beyond centuries- and as a resident of Izmir, she depicts her musical perspective over Istanbul by adding how Istanbul’s music looks from her hometown. An up-and-coming- pianist Elif Ebru Sakar along with her composer personality, also explains social media’s role over sharing her music.

Alp Yenier, the soundtrack composer of idiosyncratic series -Masumlar Apartmanı indisputably takes the lead- talks about his master, Melih Kibar and Yenier also talks over his stance across today’s music. Neyzen Sinem Hondoroğlu represents her journey of progress, development, being genuine and free spirit. Refik Hakan Talu, one of the wise men of Turkish music and the writer of substantial articles for our periodical, this time puts Artaki Candan under the scope.
