From Beethoven to Prokofiev: a Musical Journey

Concert

May 4, 2024 / 19:30

Contributing to the cultural bridge between Turkey and Japan with its exhibitions and other events since 2009, Pera Museum presents "From Beethoven to Prokofiev: a Musical Journey" concert featuring violinist Mina Aoki-Girardelli and pianist Çağdaş Özkan as part of the 100th anniversary of Turkey-Japan diplomatic relations. 

Mina Aoki-Girardelli, a pupil of Boris Belkin since 2019, performs a violin recital with pianist Çağdaş Özkan. The program explores different facets of violin repertoire across the ages, from the classical titan Beethoven to the virtuosity of Sarasate, the witty salon miniatures of Kreisler, and the dreamlike, surreal world of Prokofiev.

You can attend the concert, held on the same floor as Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters, with a museum ticket. The seating is unnumbered.

In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
