The music camps, which can also be named "Music Workshop", means the seminar performed out of the university, and applied works of the persons within the same profession together. These camps are hold throughout the world and primarily based on Classical Turkish Music.
The Classical Turkish Music
Camps organized in foreign countries is much sought after and is realized with
the participation of valuable Turkish music master, who are known worldwide, and
interestingly, this camps could not be performed in our homeland.
Basing
on the interest shown to Turkish music and Turkish music instruments in the
music camps organized in foreign countries, we took the first steps last year
with the purpose of creating the music camp concept in our country and we
realized it with success together with the participators coming from all over
the world under the name of "I. Klasik Türk Muzik Kampi Istanbul 2007" (1st
Classical Turkish Music Camp, Istanbul 2007). This year, we completed our "2nd
Classical Turkish Music Camp, Edremit 2008" with the great increase in the
number of participators and under the sponsorship of Ulus Muzik and Edremit
Municipality; and besides, we presented our public Classical Turkish Music
Concert that we specially coordinated after the camp and this different concept
attracted much interest.
Our masters constituting the main roof in our Classical Turkish Music Camps are
worldwide known virtuosos such as Zither Kanun Göksel Baktagir, Lude Yurdal
Tokcan, Violin Keman Baki Kemancı, Reed Flute Ömer, Clarinet Tanju Erol,

of us one step further. We are happy and proud of coordinating such an
