Emine Bostanci
Echoing Travelogues: The Beyond and Us
17 November 2025
Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam
Led by Amsterdam-based composer and performer Emine Bostanci, this project explores how travel and migration shape cultural and musical identities. Inspired by centuries of encounters between Ottoman, Persian and European worlds, the project reimagines historical music as a pathway toward self-understanding. Immersive historical soundscapes transformed the performance into a spatial journey. Bostanci was accompanied by Turkish, Iranian and Dutch musicians from the Dareyn Ensemble.
