Beginning her classical music career in Paris, cellist Sedef Erçetin later honed her predisposition for improvisation by re-interpreting traditional music from various regions. She has recorded and performed with tango and jazz musicians from various countries. While continuing to produce under new inspirations and with new collaborations, Erçetin founded a quartet in Istanbul that began with the idea of using the cello as a form of vocals. She defines this project’s starting point as a classical cellist finding inspiration from jazz and musicians from the world’s music scenes and creating new musical colors together. You can watch the Sedef Erçetin Quartet with their repertoire of mostly songs by Brazilian composers and jazz standards on September 28 at the Yeldeğirmeni Arts Center.
