Magnificent Concert at BAU by the "Diva of the Violin"

The concert began with Brahms's "Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108." The duo then performed works by PaulSchoenfield, Mozart,John Williamsand Astor Piazzolla.

 

Burcu Göker, who continues her musical and academic career in America and received the "Elisabeth Miller" award for violin in 2004 and 2005, and pianist Eric Jenkins received a long round of applause from the audience when they performed the folk songs Silifke Zeybeği and Sarı Gelin, which they had adapted for classical music.

After the concert, Burcu Göker thanked the audience and said she was extremely happy to share with her own people the pride of achieving great success in the world of classical music as a Turkish artist. Göker said, "Continuing my career in America does not make me forget that I am a young Turk, and I come to my country every year. I give at least 10 concerts in a month, half of them at universities. I try to reach my people with my music in many parts of Türkiye. I try to introduce classical music to people who have never known it. Because, as everyone says, those who discover classical music through me love it and can't let it go."
