Performing under the conductorship of Cem Mansur, the Turkish National Youth Philharmonic Orchestra will perform at Istanbul's Zorlu Performing Arts Center (PSM) on Aug. 18. Chosen from music conservatories from all around Turkey, 95 young musicians between the ages of 16 and 22 will cover a classical repertoire entitled "Bayram Şarkıları" (Festival Songs). Having performed in prestigious halls in Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Milan and Florence, the group will play Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's "Sorochinsky Fair," Antonin Dvorak's "Slavonic Dances," Igor Stravinsky's "Petruskha" and Claude Debussy's "Iberia."
Young Turkish composer Sinem Altan's "Hafriyat" (Excavation), will also make its Turkish premiere. Established by Mansur in 2007, the orchestra has shared the stage with prestigious artists such as Murray Perahia as well as Salvatore Accardo, Shlomo Mintz, Kristof Barati, Alice Sara-Ott and Natalia Gutman. Each year, the orchestra performs a series of concerts both in Turkey and abroad following a three-week period training.
