PROJECTS

Istanbulin

The oyun havaları or "dance tunes," were typical of the period. In "İstanbulin ," my goal was to take typical examples from that period along with their 20th-century extensions, and bring them into the 21st century within a completely new arrangement. In this album, the major works of Turkish instrumental music have entered the violin repertoire, and I present them with the hope that the audience will enjoy them.

Askin Ensemble

The Ensemble was founded by Cihat Askin, and started its activities on 9 March 2007. The Ensemble has no official ties with any organisations/associaton, and gets all its support from all young and creative musicians, on volunteer and independent basis.

Cihat Askin and Little Friends (CAKA)

We have aimed to create a unique system in Turkey with the CAKA project. A creative and productive approach which is respectful to the local culturel values while developing the ability and humanity of the student and progressing the standart of thinking. Everyone has a talent of his own, so everyone can produce art. Everyone can play an instrument and this is a way of life. There is no limit for anything so to play the violin and there is no limit to catch the happiness.
