By plucking the multiple strings of her kanun, Turkey’s large zither, Didem Başar opens the doors to a world of crystal-clear sound. Heir to a centuries-old tradition, she makes her 78 strings sing with a finesse and emotion that transcend time.
Her repertoire, drawn from the sources of Turkish music, unfolds melodies with subtle inflections, where each note seems to carry the scent of Istanbul and the memory of its shores, like a moonlit reflection on the waters of the Bosphorus.

Between virtuosity and delicacy, her interpretations weave a living link between past and present, inviting the listener on a journey where ancient resonances dialogue with today’s sensibilities.
