PROMINENT TURKISH PIANIST PERFORMS IN SOUTHERN SPAIN
MADRID (A.A) - 28.05.2010 - A world-wide known Turkish pianist gave a concert in Sevilla, one of the most important cities of Andalusia region of southern Spain.
Pianist Gulsin Onay displayed Thursday a performance at Sevilla's historical Casa de Pilatos for nearly 150 guests including Turkey's ambassador in Madrid Eren Arat and honorary consul in Andalusia Manuel Moreno.
During her performance, Onay played numerous pieces such as Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", as well as works of Turkish composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun and Polish composer & virtuoso pianist Chopin.
Expressing her appreciation over the Spanish audience's interest to her musical performance, Onay said she would give several other concerts in Spain in near future.
Gulsin Onay started her piano education when she was three and gave her first public recital on Turkish Radio when she was only six. With the aid of a special state scholarship she studied with Ahmed Adnan Saygun and Mithat Fenmen, and subsequently at the Paris Conservatoire.
Onay's international career has spanned over 55 countries across all continents, from Venezuela to Japan. She has given concerts in the major musical centres of the world such as Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, the Vienna Konzerthaus, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall, the Salle Gaveau in Paris, the Washington DC National Gallery of Art and the New York Miller Theater.
Onay is acknowledged worldwide as the finest interpreter of the music of Ahmed Adnan Saygun, whose 2nd Piano Concerto was dedicated to her.
The pianist holds the title of State Artist in her native Turkey, and in 2007, she was honoured with the award of a State Medal by the Polish nation in recognition of her exceptional Chopin interpretations.
