Symphonic Gypsy Music
A unique symphonic project bringing to life the works of world-renowned classical composers inspired by gypsy traditions. Conducted by Hakan Şensoy, with Yıldırır as soloist, the repertoire includes masterpieces such as:
•Maurice Ravel – Tzigane
•Pablo de Sarasate – Zigeunerweisen
•Grigoraș Dinicu – Hora Martișorului
The same concept has also been adapted into a more intimate piano–violin recital format, allowing audiences to experience the fiery spirit of gypsy-inspired classical works in both symphonic and chamber music settings.
