New project: Mehmet Polat Trio
A spiritual yet adventurous meeting of three masters of their magical
instruments: ney, kora and ud. With their roots in the ancient Ottoman, Anatolian, Balkan and West African
music traditions, the trio welcomes you with its musical authenticity
and hospitality. The original compositions are colored by daring improvisations and played in the character of chamber music. The Mehmet Polat Trio invites you on a sincere musical journey from the past to the future.
