Turkey’s one-man musical show demanded in Europe

ANKARA - Anadolu Agency

Musa Göçmen will travel Europe with his ‘Polyphonic Show’ to be performed in various languages.

Turkish composer and orchestra conductor Musa Göçmen’s one-man show “Çok Sesli Gösteri” (Polyphonic Show) will be staged in Europe in English, French, Italian and Spanish languages upon request. Göçmen said that he had received proposals from European organizers to perform in various countries around Europe.

“This was totally created in our own land. Our own music is dominant in the show, Ankara’s Seğmen dancers dance in the show, which also includes some Aşık Veysel poetry,” he said. Göçmen said that the translation process would be finished in a week and Anatolian and world tours would begin in January 2014.

The show having been created in 2011, Göçmen added, “Then I realized that it was the only one in the world. The show is an interactive one in which everything about music could be learned in an enjoyable atmosphere. At the end of the show, nobody leaves the stage. I invite children to the stage for them to be able to touch and feel the instruments.” He said that children of all ages enjoyed the show. “Our life is already polyphonic. This is a family show. The real purpose of this show was to bring all members of a family together during an entertaining event. We became very successful because viewers include parents, children, grandmothers and grandfathers.”

Göçmen said the show began with Bch and ended with Gangnam Style. “Nobody should come to the show to listen to classical music as it includes rock, folk song, la bamba, hip hop among other genres.” An album consisting of show’s soundtrack will also be released in January.
