About the event
Sinem Sen returns with a special Turkish Jazz Night, leading her quartet in an evening inspired by some of the most distinctive voices in Turkish music, including Birsen Tezer, Zuhal Olcay, Ayten Alpman, Bülent Ortaçgil, and others.
Blending the elegance of Turkish songwriting with the openness of jazz, the program reimagines beloved songs through subtle phrasing, emotional depth, and a contemporary sensibility. With a background in both opera and classical Turkish music, Sinem brings a refined, expressive voice to repertoire that moves naturally between intimacy, lyricism, and quiet intensity.
She is joined by legendary pianist John R. Burr, whose lyrical touch and deep musicality bring richness and interplay to the evening, alongside guitarist Alpcan Utku and bassist Buğra Kaytanlı. In this close-knit quartet setting, the music unfolds with warmth, clarity, and an understated sense of connection.
An evening of storytelling, atmosphere, and cross-cultural sound—intimate, reflective, and deeply musical.
