Trio Ran's debut in Istanbul receives standing ovations

On Feb 24th, our newly-formed piano trio featuring pianist İris Şentürker, cellist Çağ Erçağ, and myself, has made its very first concert at the beautiful hall of Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul. After some iterations, we settled on the name “Ran”, naming our trio after the great Turkish poet and intellectual Nazım Hikmet Ran (1902-1963).

We chose a nice program consisting of Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat Major, as well as Mendelssohn’s famed Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor.

Our next concert will be also in Istanbul- this time at the Süreyya Opera on April 1st, 2024. Stay tuned for a beautiful program consisting of Tchaikovsky and Beethoven’s trios.
