St Cecilia's Hall Edinburgh with ensemble Prana.
Dhafer Youssef has inspired me, as well as traditional turkish Sufi music, Greek musicians like Stellios Petrakis and Harris Lambrakis, also german composers like J S Bach and Johannes Brahms.
I am currently a music student at Edinbrugh College and before that privately taught in Bansuri and Ney. Performances started naturally as part of the learning process and my maturing as a musician, as well as teaching and crafting my own flutes. Now I perform regularly in edinburgh and throughout Scotland whilst studying.
I appreciate all opportunities and have also played at weddings, but traditional concerts are my favourite. Holistic/spiritual gatherings like yoga retreats are also acceptable. I am open to discovering more avenues and events provided they accommodate and respect the sanctity of the music.
If there is amplification, a 45 minute soundcheck is enough before playing time. If acoustic, 20-30 minutes are okay. Typical Performances are 1-2 hours. Occasionally, short *local* Performances of 15-30 minutes are acceptable.
Given the nature of my instruments, outdoor performances are preferred in dry and warm(ish) climate. Cold climates below 15°C are not preferred as they risk damaging my flutes.
I am open to requests in genres and pieces if there are specific wishes. Otherwise I can provide my own improvisations and compositions on a chosen instrument that I feel is suitable or that the client requests.
They describe them as enjoyable, impressive, and unique as I am the only known ethnic flautist around.
