- Strings of the Black Sea A Celebration of Lutes & Fiddles
The 2010 New York World Festival - Music Around the Black Sea opens with Strings of the Black Sea: A Celebration of Lutes and Fiddles from Bulgaria, Ukraine, Crimea and Turkey, showcasing instruments like those included in the Metropolitan Museum’s permanent musical instrument collection. Featured are violinist Nariman Asanov, a leading exponent of the musical tradition of the Crimean Tatars, who is joined by Patrick Farrell on accordion; Beth Bahia Cohen, a Turkish yayli tanbur (bowed long-necked lute) player who has performed with masters of bowed instruments from the Balkans and the Middle East; Ahmet Erdogdular, Turkish tanbur (plucked long-necked lute) player and singer who is one of the most important musicians of the new generation in Turkish classical music; Nikolay Kolev, a virtuoso gadulka (pear-shaped fiddle) player hailing from the village of Karavelovo in the Rose Valley of Bulgaria; Julian Kytasty, one of the world’s premier bandura (Ukrainian lute-harp) players; and the extraordinary Christos Tiktapanidis, one of the few musicians in the US who plays the Pontic Greek lyra.
