WTC Lunch Concert – Magic with Mehmet Polat Trio

WTC Lunch Concert – Magic with Mehmet Polat Trio

The Mehmet Polat Trio is a spiritual yet adventurous meeting of three masters of their magical instruments: oud, kora and ney. With roots in the Ottoman, ancient Anatolian, and West African music traditions, the trio welcomes you with its musical authenticity. The original compositions are colored by daring improvisations and grooves, presented in an atmosphere of chamber music. The Mehmet Polat Trio invites you to a sincere musical journey from the past to the present.

Mehmet Polat – Oud (similar construction like a lute, an ancestor of the guitar)

Sinan Arat  – Ney ?(an end-blown flute, one of the oldest musical instrument still in use)

Zoumana Diarra – Kora ?(made from calabash, best classified as ‘double-bridge-harp-lute’)

The next concert dates are August 25 and September 17, 2015    WTC Amsterdam
