Taking place on January 15, 2025, this special concert will inspire audiences with its unforgettable repertoire. The evening opens with a heartfelt tribute to Ceren Necipoğlu (1973-2009). Her student, Ece Yavaş, will perform her teacher’s final recital program, “Like a Book,” meticulously crafted by Necipoğlu, reviving the emotions and stories embedded in her music. In the second half, the remarkable story of Noor Inayat Khan (1914-1944), an Indian princess and harpist who bravely resisted the Nazi regime, will come to life. World-renowned harpist Florence Sitruk will pay homage to Khan with a repertoire featuring works by her harp mentor Henriette Renie and composition teacher Nadia Boulanger.
