Ömer Erdoğdular – Ney & Ottoman Music / May 12-­17, 2016

Ömer Erdoğdular will teach a seminar introducing Ottoman Classical Music and the Ney. All instruments are welcome to participate as the focus will be on makam, repertoire, improvisation, and ornamentation techniques which he will show primarily on ney, but are relevant to all instrumentalists and singers. Coming from a long lineage of music teachers, Ömer Erdoğdular provides in his lessons a unique opportunity for students, to learn the aesthetic aspects and styles of this musical tradition, as well as appreciate the ney’s distinctive place in it.
