Add a little Turkey to your lunch with Sketches of Istanbul, courtesy of the Canadian Opera Company. Canadian cellist Andrew Downing teams up with Güç Başar Gülle, master of the Turkish oud; percussionist Debashis Sinha; and clarinettist Peter Lutek to celebrate the mosaic of culture found in Istanbul. Drawing from the ensemble’s diverse backgrounds, the program features a fusion of traditional Turkish-Ottoman music, with modern western sounds and styles.
