Music is the central theme of Turkish composer Emre Dündar’s work. For many years he has collected sonic memories, vocal recordings, sounds, phonetic peculiarities and melodies of the countless dialects and, in some cases, dying languages of Turkey, which he then incorporates into his music.
A selection of his works has been presented to Berlin audiences for the first time in an ultraschall Festival portrait concert, organized in cooperation with the Artists-in-Berlin Program. Ensemble KNM performed this chamber concert under the direction of Titus Engel and featuring soloists Theo Nabicht (bass clarinet) and Eva Resch (soprano). For the piece Parergon to de Vulgari Eloquentia, Emre Dündar also performed on stage.

Emre Dündar was music division fellow of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program in 2020-21.
