We are pleased to announce the 10th Annual Turkish Music Institute Workshop in New York City. This year the workshop will offer online classes that will focus on practical use of music theory, modal taksim, performance, intonation, and modal repertoire analysis and interpretation taught by world-renowned master teachers.
We are keeping the class fee low thanks to our sponsor and grantors in an effort to keep the workshop accessible to the widest possible audience.
