Akbank Sanat Music Series: Melisa Durukan Quartet
As a part of the ‘’Akbank Sanat Her Yerde’’ events, the Akbank Sanat Music Series, where concerts featuring young artists and groups will meet the audience, are taking place for the first time this year. Bringing together diverse musical approaches, the series aims to create space for new voices and establish a direct connection with the audience.
Melisa The Durukan Quartet will take to the stage at 19:30 during the program taking place in Bova on 5 May 2026.
Melisa The Durukan Quartet aims to present an elegant and profound sound world.
Vocalist Melisa Durukan shapes her musical approach through collaborations with prominent names such as Randy Esen, Evrim Özşuca, and İpek Göztepe. Joining her on piano (İlayda Hatipoğlu), double bass (Misha Pashkov), and drums (Mert Can Bilgin), the quartet presents selections from the modern repertoire of artists such as Gretchen Parlato, Radiohead, and Robert Glasper.
The group's music aims to create a soft, fluid, and layered atmosphere. It seeks to blend the aesthetic language of modern jazz with personal interpretations, offering a simple yet intimate expression on stage.
