MM Concerts: Emine Bostancı with Dareyn Quartet

Emine Bostancı, virtuoso player of the Turkish kemenche (knee velvet) and artist-in-residence at Music Meeting 2023, is founder and lynchpin of the extraordinary Dareyn Quartet. She has mastered ancient Ottoman court music to perfection, but is equally at home in Turkish folk music. Cellist Maya Fridman had been around for some time, but recently Dareyn grew into a quartet with Franz von Chossy on piano and Vinsent Planjer on percussion.

Characteristic of Dareyn's music is the lyrical and often melancholic sound of intertwining melody lines from kemenche and cello that, framed by carefully dosed keyboard playing and percussion, intertwine East and West. Relive their incredible performance at Music Meeting 2023 with this video registration.
