Kudsi Erguner
The Turkish-born ney flutist, composer and musicologist is one of the most important representatives of classical Ottoman music. As a master of the ney, a traditional Turkish reed flute, he has popularised the music of Sufism and Ottoman culture. In addition to releasing numerous solo albums, he has also collaborated with international artists. He has not only preserved traditional Turkish music, but has also realised innovative projects in which he combines Eastern and Western music. Kudsi Erguner is an important cultural ambassador who has contributed to the revitalisation and dissemination of traditional music in Turkey through his work.
