“This vision of bringing two very different yet surprisingly similar worlds together was brought to life this weekend. Since hearing about Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol many years ago, I have dreamed of collaborating with him. Working with Mehmet and DÜNYA, playing his newly commissioned work, and exploring Ottoman/Turkish music has been the realization of this dream.”

- Concertmaster & Associate Artistic Director, Christina Day Martinson
