Çeşni Trio (pronounced Chesh-ni) performs their debut release, entitled The Fluid Score, and aims to take listeners on a transportive musical journey through various Eastern modal traditions. At turns romantic and elegant, vivacious and playful, the music of Çeşni Trio is grounded in the flavors (çeşniler) of Turkish makam music while remaining deeply personal and contemporary.  Çeşni Trio performs on a wide variety of traditional instruments as well as non-traditional instruments that fit in their creative format. The ensemble guides the listener from dove-tailing contemplative melodies to odd-metered tunes that throw caution to the wind. A well placed breath opens the ceiling; an evocative ornament opens the heart.

DOLUNAY-The Brooklyn, NY based trio Dolunay (Turkish for ‘full moon’) draws upon the songs from the Turkish people living across Rumeli, the former region of the Ottoman Balkans. Dolunay’s intimate sound, sparse in loudness and textured with the dissonance of eastern blues, gives way to a sound at once earthy and celestial, the size of which defies that of the small makeup of the band … A DIFFERENT KIND OF SOUND!
