SUMMARY:Music Across Borders Session 3: The Aegean
DESCRIPTION:The archival photograph features Tanburi Refik Fersan\, Deniz Kızı Eftalya\, and Sadi Işılay performing together. \nJoin the third session of Music Across Borders\, a Listening Club series exploring the musical connections between Türkiye and its cultural neighbours. Moderated by musicologist and pianist Prof. Dr Mine Doğantan-Dack\, this session invites participants on a listening journey across the Aegean\, tracing shared musical landscapes between Türkiye and Greece and across the sunlit islands of the Eastern Mediterranean. \nSession III — The Aegean explores the deeply intertwined musical traditions of the region while reflecting on the spirit of the Aegean’s cherished ethos of “slow living.” Together\, participants will travel along the legendary Turkish Turquoise Coast\, the enchanting Greek islands\, Selanik (Thessaloniki)\, Çanakkale (Dardanelles)\, and Cyprus\, listening to musical traditions shaped by centuries of cultural encounter across the sea. \nAlong the way\, the session will explore examples from Rebetiko\, Amanes\, Zeybek\, Karşılama\, and Laïko traditions\, brought to life by legendary musicians loved on both sides of the Aegean. These include figures such as Yorgo Bacanos\, Eftalya Işılay\, Roza Eskenazi\, Markos Vamvakaris\, Stelios Kazantzidis\, Zülfü Livaneli\, Mikis Theodorakis\, Manos Hadjidakis\, Candan Erçetin\, and Nana Mouskouri. \nParticipants will also listen to unforgettable melodies from film and popular music that have shaped the region’s shared musical imagination—from the famous sirtaki of Zorba the Greek to beloved songs by Demis Roussos\, Georges Moustaki\, George Dalaras\, Sezen Aksu\, Ajda Pekkan\, and Emel Sayın. \nGuided by Prof. Dr Mine Doğantan-Dack\, the session is based on close listening and reflection\, supported by visual materials such as maps\, videos\, and instrument guides. Through attentive listening\, participants will discover how music has travelled across the Aegean for generations\, creating a rich network of shared sounds\, stories\, and emotional landscapes. \n\nSession III — The AegeanDate: Friday\, 27 MarchTime: 6:00 pmVenue: Yunus Emre Enstitüsü\, 10 Maple Street\, W1T 5HA \nLimited spaces.
