Description
To express your opinion freely: For Fazıl Say, a precious asset for which he boldly advocates in public – as a human being and a musician. His recital combines Beethoven’s and Haydn’s timeless messages with his own piano sonata about the protest movement which began in Gezi Park in Istanbul in 2013.
