Makam New York has lost two of its most cherished figures.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved teachers, Ömer Erdoğdular and Feridun Özgören. They were instrumental in shaping Makam New York’s Annual Turkish Music Institute Workshop, leaving an indelible mark on our community. Their presence will be greatly missed, but their memory and legacy will live on in our hearts. Thank you, dear masters.
