Concert

İstanbul State Turkish Folk Music And Modern Folk Music Research And Practice Choir

Our Turkish Folk Music has come down to us today through source persons who had passed on our karşılama, zeybek, horon, and halay dances, Anatolian travelling ozan’s (bard) and ashik’s (troubador/poet/bard) words, folk poems and songs from all corners of Anatolia.

Many of the songs and poems of our great bards such as Âşık (Ashik) Veysel, Karacaoğlan, Pir Sultan Abdal, and many anonymous ones who can now be cited as whole of Anatolia have been carried through ages with a master-apprentice relationship and spread through word-of-mouth.

Seymens in Ankara, Horons in the Black Sea, Bar in Erzurum, Halay in Sivas, and Karşılama in Thrace are the primary styles by region in our Folk Dances repertoire.

You will be listening to our folk songs and see our folk dances in our concert. We will go on a journey where the roads of Anatolia will echo with our folk songs.
