Turkey’s renowned pianist Tuluyhan Uğurlu will perform at the New York Grand Central Terminal on May 14, one month after a concert he will perform in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

The Grand Bazaar concert will be performed in the bazaar’s widest street, Kalpakçılar, on April 14 at 4 p.m. as the first chain of Uğurlu’s “Grand Bazaar to Grand Central” project, which is a joint project of the Grand Bazaar Artisans Association and the Federation of Turkish American Associations.

The Grand Bazaar, which is closed on Sundays, will be open for the concert day and decorated with tulips.
 
During the New York concert, Istanbul and the Grand Bazaar will be featured with music and visuals. The Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall section will be designed especially to depict Turkey and Istanbul at the concert. The Grand Bazaar artisans will also be able to display their carpets and jewelry during the event, which will begin at 7 p.m. and end at 10 p.m.
