Resonating Across Time:  Navigating the Contemporary World as a Classically Trained Musician

İdil Yunkuş

About this exposition

Change, in all aspects of life, is inevitable. As musicians, our creativity must remain flexible, allowing us to adapt while preserving the essence of our art. By embracing innovation and continuous learning, we can navigate the evolving nature of classical music without compromising its integrity. Rather than resisting change, we should use it as a tool to keep our practice relevant and meaningful. In doing so, we not only honor tradition but also ensure that classical music will continue to inspire and resonate with future generations. Throughout my research, I analyze three projects that I participated in, presenting them as unique examples of how creativity, through different approaches, can be combined with social engagement. These projects serve as case studies, demonstrating how musicians can engage new audiences, and create experiences that deepen the connection between the performer, listener, and the cultural context in which music exists, while still respecting traditions.
