Violinist
Emre Engin
Emre Engin, one of the proteges of Maestro Pinchas Zukerman, was awarded “ The Young Soloist of the Year” by the International Istanbul Music Festival, which was followed by many other awards such as the “Yehudi Menuhin Award” by the Royal College of Music, “Best Emerging Artist” by Donizetti Classical Music Awards, and 1st prize at the Ilhan Ozsoy Presidential Violin Competition. Emre is generously supported by the CEV “Harika Yetenekler” Foundation.
New Manhattan Sinfonietta’s musicians will perform an orchestral suite "Esintiler" (Inspirations) by Turkish composer Ferit Tuzun, Mozart's beloved violin concerto no.5 -also known as "Turkish"- and Beethoven's often neglected 4th symphony. Tuzun's "Esintiler" unfolds in three movements, incorporating Anatolian folk music and motives, while in Mozart's "Turkish" violin concerto the music lets loose with exoticism. Symphony no. 4 reveals what Beethoven could do next after the mighty "Eroica" that marked a turning point in the development of symphony as a genre.
