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.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
