Fazil Say's Istanbul symphony Moldovan premiere
The National Symphony Orchestra of Moldova's public broadcaster, Teleradio-Moldova (TRM), under the baton of conductor Andrei Zapșa, performed the symphony "Istanbul" by contemporary Turkish composer Fazil Say for the first time in Moldova.
The event, titled "An Evening on the Bosphorus," was organized at the National Museum of Art of Moldova, and admission was free. The Turkish Ambassador to Chișinău was also among the spectators.
The symphony "Istanbul," inspired by the city that connects two continents, was the choice of conductor Andrei Zapșa.
"It captivated me on first listen, and I truly believe Fazil Say is a major name on the world music stage. I'm very happy that we have the opportunity to bring him to our local music-loving audience," said conductor Andrei Zapșa.
Admission to the concert was free. Attendees enjoyed the harmonies of contemporary music with echoes of traditional Turkish music.
