Greece – On Saturday the 11thth, Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th of October 2003, the Cultural Organization En Chordais – Musical Traditions of the Mediterranean – is organizing an International Ney Meeting in Istanbul.

The International Ney Meeting is taking place within the framework of the MediMuses project, whose field of action includes research, educational and artistic activities in countries of the Mediterranean. The International Meetings are considered to be of the most significant activities of the project, as they focus on the musical instruments of the Mediterranean.

MediMuses project, which is part of the broader European Union supported Euromed Heritage II program, aims to research and recompose the elements of the common Mediterranean Music Heritage.

During the International Ney Meeting nine of the most distinguished Mediterranean ney (or nay) performers will teach and present their style, technique and repertoire, by giving master classes and recitals. As side events, lectures on the historical evolution of the instrument will be given by researchers and musicologists (Dr. Cem Behar, Dr. Mahmoud Guettat, Dr. Walter Feldman, Mr. Fikret Karakaya and Mr. Hossein Omoumi).

The selection of the performers ensures that all the different schools that have flourished around the Mediterranean will be presented with their different style, technique, and repertoires.
