Muharrem Aslan

Experience an intimate solo performance by Muharrem Aslan, where the timeless voice of the bağlama meets contemporary musical imagination in a program inspired by the rich traditions of Anatolia.

Muharrem Aslan presents a concert that weaves together traditional melodies, original compositions, and spontaneous musical dialogue. Through intricate rhythms, modal richness, and expressive improvisation, the performance reveals the depth and versatility of one of the world’s oldest long-necked lutes, offering audiences an immersive and deeply personal listening experience.

Central to the performance is Fourtemolo, a technique developed by Aslan that enables two independent melodic lines to be performed simultaneously on the bağlama, expanding both its sonic range and musical vocabulary.

Rather than preserving tradition as a museum piece, this performance embraces it as a living art form—continually evolving through creativity, innovation, and cultural exchange.
