In this Türk Telekom Prime Coffee Concert, guitarist Erdem Sökmen and kamancheh-player Nağme Yarkın (a duo who in 2022 released an album entitled Duende) will perform a selection of lute pieces of the Renaissance and more modern works in arrangements for the guitar and the kamancheh – a bowed string instrument thought to have originated in Iran. The Turkish version, the kemençe or İstanbul kemençesi, differs from the Persian instrument in both structure and sound.
