The concert will take place on the same floor where the Orientalist Painting Collection Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters is exhibited, offering listeners a spellbinding musical journey into history. 

The tickets, priced at 450 TL, are available at Biletix.com or from the Pera Museum's reception desk on the day of the event. Pera Museum Friendship Program members may enjoy a 20% discount. Seats are limited and unnumbered. The concert is without intermission and lasts approximately one hour.

Ottoman Music and Entertainment from the Perspective of Painters

Ottoman Music and Entertainment from the Perspective of Painters

When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.

Chlebowski’s Sultan

Chlebowski’s Sultan

This is one of Stanisław Chlebowski’s larger canvasses dealing with themes other than battles; only Ottoman Life at the Sweet Waters now at the Istanbul Military Museum can compare with it in size.

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
