This webinar focuses on the diversity of musical traditions in the Anatolian coast of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. We will explore the musical cultures in this region and discuss the possibility of transcultural musical creation, by drawing on the experiences of Michael Ellison, an American composer who works with local musicians. We will be focusing on the importance of “regional” instruments and non-dominant narratives for composers who are seeking to raise the bar in their engagement with source musics and in their efforts to create direct collaborations with musicians.
Speakers: Şirin ÖZGÜN and Michael ELLISON
