Thomas Simaku: Recent Lectures and Masterclasses

14 June 2016

In May 2016 UYMP composer Thomas Simaku visited the Centre for Advanced Studies in Music at Istanbul Technical University where he gave a lecture on his Soliloquy Cycle, a series of highly virtuosic works for various solo instruments.

Dr Simaku has been focusing on this series of pieces for a number of years now. Beginning with works for violin and cello, it has expanded to include pieces for oboe, bass clarinet and soprano saxophone, as well as the BASCA award winning recorder piece, Flauto Acerbo.

He also chaired a workshop for postgraduate composition students, before travelling to the State Conservatory of Music in Izmir to deliver a lecture and composition masterclass.
