Kudsi Ergüner, France/Turkey
Kudsi Erguner, one of the foremost nay masters of our times, is
particularly famed for his activities helping to introduce Ottoman and
sufi music to the world with internationally acclaimed projects and
recordings. He lives and works in Paris as a musician, composer,
musicologist, teacher and author.
Erguner comes from a family of Turkish musicians. His contact with many
famous musicians from the older generation, who continually passed
through his parents house, and his involvement with various Sufi
brotherhoods, whose music and teachings Erguner studied, left their
decisive marks on him. He received his training directly from his
father, Ulvi Erguner, who was the last great master of the Nay.
Kudsi Erguner studied also architecture and musicology in Paris, he has
given concerts and played in major festivals throughout the world and
has researched the music of India, Pakistan and Turkey, grounded diverse
music ensembles, recorded numerous albums and has worked with such well
known artists such as Bob Wilson, Peter Gabriel, Maurice Bejart, Carolyn
Carlson, Peter Brook, Didier Lockwood, Michel Portal, Tony Gatliff, Marc
Minkovsky, Alexandre Desplat, Bartabas, Sarkis, Marcus Stochausen,
Nusret Fathi Ali Khan, Jordy Savall, Fazil Say.
Erguner has thus made authoritative contributions to world music. He has
documented and revived nearly forgotten
musical
tradition
and brought
them to
the
attention
of
the
Western public, securing
them a
place within
Europe’s
cultural
inheritance in this
way he did also initiate the renaissance of the Ottoman Classical and
Sufi music in Turkey.
He has devised many original projects for the International Music
Festivals namely “From Sufism to Flamenco’’, ‘’Ghazals’’, ‘’Ferahfeza
Whirling Dervishes Ceremony‘’, ‘’Songs from Vienna and Istanbul :
Schubert-Sevki
Bey’’,
“Rembetiko from Istanbul”, “Works of Prince Dimitri Kantemir & Ali
Ufki”, “Islam Blues”, “Taj Mahal” “La Banda Alla Turka” “Ottomania” “
Fasl- Ottoman court music” . His project ‘’Passion d’ Istanbul‘’
commissioned by the French Government in 2000 was performed in a concert
in Paris and recorded live on CD.
He released more than hundred CD mostly dedicated to the different
aspects of the Ottoman music and published four book in french, (‘’Les
Contes de Mesnevi’’, ‘’Les saints des Derviches Bektachi’’, ‘’La
Fontaine de la Séparation’’ and ‘’La flûte des Origines’’)
some of them are translated in several languages. In 1981, he created the MEVLANA
association in Paris where he teaches the Sufi tradition, teaches music
and soufism according to the original tradition. He also gives the
conferences on Sufism and the music all over the world and steers two
small communities connected to the Mevlevi tradition ; one in Paris and
one in Istanbul.
En parallele to his concerts and activities, he works as professor at
the Rotterdam Conservatory (CODARTS) and he animates a master class
(Birun) at the Foundation Cini - Venice every year.
