Where Joyful and Melancholic Meet

Ottomaniak is a newly formed ensemble consisting of musicians who have long collaborated in various groups and explore both traditional and experimental music. This time, they have come together around the repertoire of Istanbul's vocal suites, the fasıl, to share their love for this music, which is at once joyful, melancholic, and always refined.
