Love of Sounds

St Cyprian's, Clarence Gate, Glentworth Street, London NW1 6AX

Through the strong connection they have established with the land they live in and the great dominance they have over their instruments, two master artists will come together for the “Love of Sounds”.

After learning the bağlama from countless masters, Coşkun Karademir devoted himself to folk and mystical music. With a variety of solo, duo, quartet and ensemble projects, Coşkun Karademir continues to present local musical textures to world music audiences.

Özer Özel has been a part of many concerts in Turkey and abroad and has contributed to many albums and soundtracks throughout his career with his expertise in the tanbur, string tanbur, yaylı tanbur and bağlama. He is continuing his academic study of music as a faculty member at the Department of Music and Performing Arts at Yildiz Technical University.

Organised by Yunus Emre Institute in London and supported by Turkish Airlines, this concert will mark Özer Özel and Coşkun Karademir’s first concert in London.
