This collection of music holds a special place in the heart of its creator, as it was meticulously curated for Dr. Ayse Taspinar Gatenyo’s Doctorate Recital at UCLA. These pieces eloquently embody the fusion of Ottoman and Western musical traditions, showcasing the intricate cultural mosaic of our world. Ottoman Armenians, renowned for their musical prowess, imbued their compositions with Turkish motifs, crafting melodies that resonate through time. As an advocate for peace, the artist believes fervently in music’s ability to bridge divides. This album serves as a poignant testament to our shared humanity and the transformative power of cultural exchange. Embark on this journey of harmony and exploration through the timeless medium of music.
This album was released through a collaborative effort between the Italian record label Movimento Classical and Apricot Music and Art, emphasizing its international reach and partnerships.
