Iş Sanat, which aims to present innovative and original projects to art lovers, has been offering free, online events from its social media accounts and website throughout the pandemic season. For the last month of the year, it has prepared a rich program including concerts, tale theaters and poetry recitations.

The unforgettable concert record of pianist Iklim Tamkan and mezzo-soprano Senem Demircioğlu will be presented to classical music admirers starting Friday. The concert, which stretches from the Baroque period to the Romantic period, features the works of composers such as Jacques Duphly, Johann Mattheson, Jules Massenet and Gabriel Faure.

On the other hand, Iş Sanat Tale Theater takes little art lovers on a fun adventure.

The program features “Alaaddin” on Sunday, “Snow White” on Dec. 13, “Puss in Boots” on Dec. 20 and “The Happy Prince” on Dec. 27. The tale theaters can be watched after 3 p.m. on the days they debut.

Yıldız took part in the 10th International Antalya Piano Festival’s Young Talents Concert. She was also invited to the International Music Festival in Moscow by maestro Vladimir Spivakov in 2009. The pianist also studied with professor Boyan Vodenitcharov at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels from 2015 to 2017.

Meanwhile, tenor Murat Karahan will take part in Iş Sanat’s traditional New Year Concert with a special program consisting of favorite pieces like “Shape of My Heart.” During the concert, the Limak Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of maestro Erol Erdinç will accompany the famous tenor. Having been recorded at the Bilkent Concert Hall in the capital Ankara without spectators, the concert will be broadcast at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 31.
