Turkish cellist Sedef Ercetin and pianist Kerem Gorsev performed a chamber jazz concert as part of the Jazzycolors Festival in the French capital.
The festival, which began in Paris on Nov. 3, is still underway.
Now in its 24th year, it has the Paris branch of the Yunus Emre Institute, Türkiye’s state-run cultural center abroad, taking part for the first time. The institute organized the concert at the Czech Center in Paris.
Ercetin and Gorsev performed chamber jazz pieces, all composed by Gorsev. Ercetin told the audience that every piece they played had a story behind it.
Mehmet Altintas, director of the Yunus Emre Institute in Paris, opened the evening with a speech. He noted that the program would feature Gorsev’s compositions and thanked all the guests for attending.
Türkiye’s Consul General in Paris, Kerem Yilmaz, and Burcu Ozdemir, the cultural and promotion counselor at the Turkish Embassy in Paris, were among those in attendance, along with many music lovers.
