Workshop Concert
Saturday, 11/28/2026 19:00 HfMT, Fanny Hensel-Saal

The bağlama is one of the most important instruments in Anatolian music, combining a centuries-old tradition with diverse contemporary forms of expression. The one-day workshop begins with a brief lecture on the history, development, and varied uses of the instrument. The focus then shifts to making music together: Using selected songs, participants will learn and practice basic playing techniques and musical approaches to the bağlama. In the process, participants will gain insights into traditional playing styles and the instrument’s sonic possibilities. The workshop is open to interested individuals of all ages and is suitable for beginners as well as those with prior playing experience. Bringing your own instrument is recommended but not required. The songs worked on together will be performed at the end of the workshop as part of a workshop concert.
