Concert: A Journey Through Time with the Oboe | Damla Tuncer
April 30, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
£5.00 – £7.50
Join us on 30 April 2025 at 7 PM at Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London for an inspiring musical evening with internationally acclaimed oboist Damla Tuncer, as she takes the audience on a journey through centuries of music—from the refined melodies of the Renaissance to the vibrant energy of jazz, tango, and the contemplative tones of Turkish classical music—brought to life through the expressive voice of the oboe.
Organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London, A Journey Through Time with the Oboe is a one-hour interactive concert offering an enriching experience that blends performance with reflection. Each piece will be accompanied by brief commentary, offering cultural and historical context to guide the listening experience.
The evening opens with Damla Tuncer sharing her personal path in music—her early decision to become a musician, her training across Europe, and the evolving role of the oboist in both Western and Turkish traditions. She will also give a short introduction to the oboe itself, highlighting its tonal richness and emotional range.
The repertoire features a carefully selected programme of works by John Dowland, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Scott Joplin, Astor Piazzolla, Ekrem Zeki Ün, and Ennio Morricone, offering a rare chance to hear the oboe across genres, styles, and eras.
The concert will conclude with an audience Q&A, inviting reflections on music, memory, and the connections we form through sound.
