Cihat Aşkın and Mehru Ensari's admired project titled "Minyatürler" (Miniatures) is set to be performed at the Leyla Gencer Opera and Art Center once again today. Aşkın, an accomplished Turkish classical musician, and Ensari, known for the soothing touch of her piano, bring many important compositions from different parts of Anatolia together under the same roof for "Minyatürler," which carries the traces of the most important composers of classical Turkish music. Aşkın, who completed the entire composition in five-and-a-half hours in 1997, builds a bridge between the West and East, and successfully manages to blend ballads with the rhythms of tango.
