The pianist Suyang Kim and cellist Barbara Körber take you on a musical journey across Anatolia: With Fazıl Says Sonata Dört Şehir (“4 Cities”) for cello and piano, they transform the Ars Electronica Center’s Piano Room into a portal to the composer’s biographical recollections and experiences, spanning from the melancholy tunes of the city of Sivas – inspired by the sounds of the traditional lute instrument saz – to the melodies of a wedding on the Black Sea in Hopa, to the impressions of Ankara and a musically humorous insight into Bodrum’s pubs and bars. Accompanied by visualizations by Christian Philip Berger, an impressive concert will take place on this evening, illustrating the diversity of a country and a composer through emotive pieces.
