Description :

Two of the European Cultural Capitals in 2010 - Istanbul and the Ruhr area - were united in the personality of the composer and pianist Fazil Say. He lives in Istanbul and had a five-year residence as exclusive artist at the Konzerthaus Dortmund, the largest city in the Ruhr area. This cooperation culminated in the highlight of a concert, the world premiere of Say’s Istanbul Symphony in which the composer has created a portrait of the city in seven movements capturing everyday situations and the atmosphere, history and people of this great metropolis.
