I'm forwarding this from the Makam New York organization. Would be great to see some EEFC people there! This will be a wonderful occasion to study this music with some incredible musicians. A very rare opportunity!

We are pleased to announce the second Annual Turkish Music Institute Workshop in New York City. This year the workshop will offer four classes that will focus on the practical use of music theory, intonation, and modal repertoire analysis and interpretation taught by world-renowned master teachers.

Omer Erdogdular - Ney
Ross Daly - Composition and Orchestration
Yurdal Tokcan - Oud
Ahmet Erdogdular - Singing and Vocal Improvisation

In our workshops we advance practice and learning through a traditional system called meshk. This learning method involves transmission of knowledge from teacher to student – master to apprentice. Our workshops are structured as an intensive teacher-student interactive experience.

Turkish Music Institute is Makam New York’s annual educational and cultural project, the first of its kind in North America. We bring some of the finest practitioners of makam music to New York City for five days of intensive workshops capped by a major concert at a leading performing arts center. Like us on facebook and join our mailing list to receive the most up to date information on events and concerts.

The cost for the seminar is $485
