Fatih Municipality brings together distinguished works of Turkish music with art lovers

Fatih Municipality is reviving a significant tradition in culture and arts. The "Meşk in the Courtyard" program, held every Tuesday evening in the historic atmosphere of Medrese Davutpaşa, introduces distinguished pieces of Turkish music to art lovers. The "meşk" tradition, an indispensable method of musical education during the Ottoman period, is being revived in the modern age with this special event. Master performers perform classical pieces, bringing the elegant musical understanding of the past to the attention of today's audience. The event features examples from various modes of Turkish classical music. The melodies echo through Medrese Davutpaşa's historic courtyard, providing listeners with an unforgettable musical feast.

"We keep our traditional music alive in its original form"

Fatih Mayor Mehmet Ergün Turan commented on the event, saying, "Fatih possesses a great heritage not only in its history and architecture, but also in its culture and music. We are working to preserve this heritage and pass it on to future generations. With the "Meşk in the Courtyard" program, we are both reviving our musical tradition and bringing our fellow citizens together in this unique atmosphere."

Participation in the event held every Tuesday is free.

Participation in the event is free, and art lovers can register for the program via the Suriçi Fatih mobile app. Music nights, which begin every Tuesday at 8:15 PM, enliven Fatih's cultural life. This program, launched under the leadership of the Fatih Municipality, appeals not only to art lovers but also to younger generations eager to rediscover traditional music. This way, music, alongside the historical fabric of the venue, is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the audience.
