2nd Ceren Necipoğlu Istanbul International Harp Festival – Closing Gala

Art enthusiasts will witness the grand finale of the festival, which began with solo harp and chamber music competitions held between January 15-19, 2025, at the Atatürk Cultural Center. During this special evening, the winners from two different age categories will receive their awards, and selected pieces from the competition repertoire will be performed by young musicians.

A Journey Through Anatolian Melodies with Arpanatolia The closing gala invites music lovers to an enchanting performance by the internationally renowned Arpanatolia. Reviving the ancient musical traditions of Anatolia, Arpanatolia blends the magical harmony of the lyre, harp, wind, and percussion instruments, offering an unforgettable visual and auditory feast.

The Inspiring Legacy of Ceren Necipoğlu
The festival draws inspiration from the unforgettable harpist Ceren Necipoğlu, whose words resonate with the theme of the evening: “Anatolian lands are rich in cultural heritage, embracing diverse traditions. We must wholeheartedly cherish and protect all this history and natural wealth, caring for every stone as if it were precious.”
