New York Ataturk Chorus and Incesaz to Perform at the Legendary Carnegie Hall in New York City

New York, NY- On Saturday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. Turkish and International Music Ensemble brings renowned Turkish band Incesaz and New York Ataturk Chorus to Carnegie Hall. This will be the first time for Incesaz and New York Ataturk Chorus to perform Turkish music at this iconic stage to more than 600 audiences. The concert will begin with New York Ataturk Chorus singing an exciting repertoire of classical songs including polyphonic arrangements that reflect the vibrancy of Turkish music. Led by music director Nedim Katgi on the piano, the Chorus will be joined by eight professional instrument players. Since the chorus’ inception, talented and dedicated volunteer singers from New York Metropolitan area have gathered together with the common purpose of perpetuating the richness and diversity of Turkish choral music for the enjoyment and edification of audiences. The Chorus hopes that the concert at Carnegie Hall will draw attention and interest to Turkish music, promote Turkish music to a wider variety of audiences with diverse backgrounds, develop current audience base and nurture a sense of community and a love for Turkish music.


Following the Chorus, Incesaz will give a rare performance of classical Turkish music including the use of traditional instruments. And yet, Incesaz’s music sounds very contemporary compared to its origins: this music is polyphonic (the classical Turkish Music is monophonic) and employs harmony and orchestral arrangements through the addition of western instruments like the guitar, double bass, piano, accordion, woodwinds and cello. This approach has won unprecedented critical and public acclaim, with suggestions that Incesaz should be taken as the creator of a new Turkish music format.
